Enda Kenny throws down gauntlet to FF calling on Micheál Martin to 'act responsibly' putting government together

Acting Taoiseach Enda Kenny has thrown down the gauntlet to Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin, calling on him to “act responsibly” in putting a government together.

Speaking at the White House, following a meeting with US President Barack Obama, Mr Kenny said Fianna Fáil has responsibilities in seeing a stable administration being formed.

Last night, Fianna Fáil said it has always acted responsibly, raising hopes that formal talks between the two largest parties may take place.
