DUBLIN, IRELAND - JANUARY 23: New Irish taoiseach Micheál Martin and his wife Mary O’Shea seen outside the Irish parliament at Leinster House on January 23, 2025 in Dublin, Ireland. The expectation of a "technical group" of seven independent conservative politicians who agreed to support a five-year coalition program of government in exchange for seats at the Cabinet table and sit on the opposition benches caused bedlam in Dublin yesterday. Sinn Fein, the largest opposition party, and other left-wing independents objected to their demands and the business of electing Micheál Martin as Ireland's new taoiseach and forming the government was eventually suspended. The parties reconvened today with issues resolved. (Photo by Charles McQuillan/Getty Images)
