Both women have confirmed that they are remaining on as TDs.
In a Kfm exclusive interview on Thursday morning's Kildare Today programme, Social Democrats Co- Leader & Kildare North TD Catherine Murphy ruled out a merger with the Labour Party.
However, she said the Social Democrats are open to coalition with any party depending on policies.
"We will be open to have those discussions," she said.
