Sinn Féin ‘eager for place’ in Government

SINN FÉIN is keen to become a junior coalition partner in Government, the party’s finance spokesman Caoimhghín Ó Caoláin indicated yesterday.

Sinn Féin has abandoned its proposal though to nationalise the country’s biggest banks by buying them out at the taxpayers’ expense.

The expression by the Minister for Foreign Affairs, Dermot Ahern, that it was only a matter of time before Sinn Féin entered into Government, has heightened the focus on the party’s policies.
