Greens want binding constitutional rules for fixed-termed parliament to ensure full 5-year Dáil

The Green Party has called for binding constitutional rules which would create a fixed-termed parliament and ensure that the Dáil sits for a full five years.

The party’s two TDs yesterday met Fine Gael negotiators as attempts continue to form a government.

Green leader Eamon Ryan has not ruled out voting for a taoiseach when the next vote takes place on April 6. However, he says he wants to see a programme for government from Fine Gael as well as from Fianna Fáil before any decisions are made.
