Kenny and Gilmore hold first talks

The Fine Gael and Labour leaders met this evening to begin the process of forming of a new Government, despite there being 12 seats left to fill in the 31st Dáil.

As counts continue in the constituencies of Laois-Offaly, Galway West and Wicklow, Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore met for just under an hour after a brief telephone discussion this morning.
