Fianna Fáil don't have a coalition strategy says Michael McGrath

Fianna Fáil finance spokesman Michael McGrath says his party can offer voters a credible post-election alternative to the Government, despite conceding that the party’s coalition strategy is that they do not have one.

Speaking at the launch of his party’s USC and tax plans, the frontbench TD came under significant questioning over whether it will be able to implement any of its plans in the next Dáil.

The Cork South Central TD repeatedly refused to clarify what coalition options are open to Fianna Fáil after the party ruled out any deals with Fine Gael or Sinn Féin, and Labour leader Joan Burton’s decision last week to “categorically” reject any potential deal.
