We need a third party to form a stable government with Fianna Fáil, says Varadkar

Fine Gael will only go into Government with Fianna Fáil if a third party is also involved, Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said.

Confirming to the Irish Examiner that he and Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin are working towards producing a joint paper on Monday, Mr Varadkar said any new government would need a third party to give it “legitimacy and authority”.
