Social Democrats willing to enter into coalition with a Fine Gael-led government

The Social Democrats would be willing to enter a Fine Gael-led government — but only if they back some of their policies.

Launching its manifesto, the party said it is aiming to win at least seven seats in the upcoming election — the number needed to be granted funding and speaking rights — and added they would be willing to enter a government coalition.

Their Building a Better Future 2016 – 2020 document outlines an NHS-style health system, promises to reduce the cost of living, and eliminate child poverty.
