Like-minded independents stand ready to help form a govt, says Michael Lowry

A group of 12 like-minded independents stand ready to help form a government if they are needed, Independent Tipperary TD Michael Lowry has said.

Speaking to the Irish Examiner, Mr Lowry said in his view it looks like they might not be needed, as he expects a 'Grand Super Coalition' of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Greens to be formed.
