After 70 days, this is what the country is left with over the next few years.
Newly-elected Taoiseach Enda Kenny has announced his Cabinet for the 32nd Dáil, and people have not held back with their views.
The big talking points are that Frances Fitzgerald has been named as the new Tánaiste, while Leo Varadkar is now the Minister for Social Protection, with Simon Harris taking over the Minster for Health role.
Mary Mitchell O’Connor has surprised many with her high-profile appointment to the Minster for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation.
Elsewhere, Katherine Zappone, who voted for Enda Kenny to be reinstated as the Taoiseach, has been named as the Minister for Children and Youth Affairs.
Here is the best reaction to the new look government…
Not sure why people are whinging about Simon Harris's age. He's quite a competent guy; besides there are far, far worse in this lineup #Dail

Pretty sure they are making some of these departments up; "er, yeah, we're giving you Social Flimbim – go make a difference!" #Dail

So for those not familiar with the law of unintended consequences take a look at your new government and suck it up! #Dail

Don't be fooled by the optics of Enda sitting amongst women in the #Dail. Still just four female ministers. #newpolitics

I, for one, will now be referring to the Department of Defence as the Department of Def-Enda #Dail
