Gerry Adams won’t rule out Sinn Féin-Fianna Fáil coalition

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams has declined to rule out going into coalition with Fianna Fáil if his party wins more seats at the general election.

The Louth TD said “we’ll talk to whoever is appropriate”, despite previously rejecting any possibility of going into government as a junior party with Fianna Fáil.

Latest opinion polls published late last month show Sinn Féin is currently on 21% and Fianna Fáil on 19%, compared to Fine Gael’s 30% and Labour’s 7%.
