Members of 34th Dáil are set to nominate Micheál Martin as Taoiseach, this Wednesday morning, when they meet for the first time this year.
The Dáil will sit from 11am and the nomination process for the new Taoiseach begins a short time later.
It is anticipated that the Fianna Fail leader will be proposed and seconded by members of his party while Sinn Féin is set to nominate Mary Lou McDonald.
With the support of Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and several independents, Mr Martin's nomination will be ratified by a majority of the 174 TDs by the early afternoon.
He will then travel to Áras an Uachtaráin where he will be formally appointed to the office by President Michael D Higgins.
