Enda Kenny: Talks with Greens to secure votes to stay in government ‘very constructive’

Taoiseach Enda Kenny described his discussions with the Green Party as “very constructive”, in his efforts to secure sufficient votes in his bid to remain in government.

He categorically refused to discuss forming a coalition government with Fianna Fáil as he arrived for a two-day summit in Brussels.

Mr Kenny, now in the position of caretaker, will face a fresh vote in the Dáil on April 6 when he will be pitted against Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin. The party is not expected to make serious advances to Fianna Fáil until they have worked through the alternatives.
