The recently re-elected TD also said that the formation of any new government in Ireland is likely to take many weeks, ahead the Dáil's meeting tomorrow.

Coveney admitted that the prospect of a Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil coalition sits uneasy with a lot of people in each party, backing up the sentiments of Leo Varadkar that there is a distinct lack of trust among elected representatives of both parties.

Finally, the Cork South-Central politician was reluctant to back the idea of a rotating Taoiseach, in line with the inconclusive general election results.
