Three long days of counting in the General Election finished late on Monday (Niall Carson/PA) - (PA Wire)

A Sinn Fein TD has said they will continue to speak to like-minded parties in a bid to form a left-leaning government, and there is a “powerful bloc” of 60 progressive politicians who campaigned for change.

Eoin O Broin said that while Fianna Fail and Fine Gael have the numbers to form a government, the deal has not yet been reached.
