Minister Simon Coveney says he expects to survive a motion of no confidence in the Dáil tomorrow.

The Minister says he's spoken to coalition colleagues to firm up support within Fianna Fáil and the Green Party.

Minister Simon Coveney, at the Fine Gael think-in in Co. Meath, apologised for the communications around the now failed appointment of Katherine Zappone as UN Special Envoy, saying the process would have to be different in future.

But, he thinks he'll survive a motion of no confidence in the Dáil tomorrow.

Sinn Féin have pushed that motion.

Party leader Mary Lou McDonald says cronyism in Government needs to be stamped out.

Simon Coveney has been talking to his coalition colleagues in Fianna Fáil and the Greens to shore up their support, ahead of the Dáil's return tomorrow.
