The article from The Irish Times, published on December 16, 2024, discusses the demands of Independent TDs (Teachtaí Dála) in Ireland as they negotiate with the government for support in upcoming votes.

These demands are part of a broader negotiation strategy to secure commitments from the government in exchange for their support on critical votes, reflecting the significant influence Independents can wield in a fragmented political landscape.
