Green Party TDs and Senators will this morning hold a second teleconference meeting to evaluate their response to a joint Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael document inviting the party into formal talks on government formation.
A party source told RTÉ News that the decision was likely to be made either today or tomorrow.
On Tuesday night, Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin and Fine Gael leader Leo Varadkar sent a six-page letter to the Greens, which provided answers to 17 key questions which had been posed by the party.
In nearly a dozen of those answers, relatively clear commitments were given on a range of topics such as stopping construction of new liquid natural gas terminals, ending direct provision, and attaining overseas development aid targets.
Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael leaders also committed to enacting climate legislation within 100 days of forming a government.
However, Mr Martin and Mr Varadkar did not commit to the exclusive provision of public housing on public lands and, crucially, said it was necessary to tease out how a 7% reduction in greenhouse gases could be attained.
The 12 Green TDs and two Green Senators will resume their deliberations this morning. One parliamentary party source said a decision on whether to go into formal talks on government formation could be taken as early as today.
This would be a quicker response that had been expected, and without the need for a face-to-face meeting between Eamon Ryan, Leo Varadkar and Micheál Martin.
Meanwhile, the Government’s handling of the Covid-19 crisis will take centre stage when the Dáil returns today.
