Fianna Fáil rules out post-election pact with SF

FIANNA Fáil has promised voters it won’t enter a coalition with Sinn Féin or form a minority government dependent on support from the party in the Dáil.

“Can we give you a very clear message that Fianna Fáil would not go into government with Sinn Féin or go into government dependent on Sinn Féin,” Education Minister Mary Hanafin told reporters yesterday.

She was speaking at a Fianna Fáil press conference on State pensions at the party’s election headquarters in Dublin.
