Labour to decide if they will support Fine Gael minority government

Labour have yet to decide if they will abstain or support a Fine Gael minority government, as internal debate continues in the party on whether Joan Burton should remain on as leader.

Party TDs and senators will today meet and discuss the next stepsamid suggestions that Tánaiste and leader Joan Burton may put her name forward for the leadership contest.

But there are mixed thoughts in the party on whether it should go into opposition completely or possibly align itself in some form, through votes, with a minority government led by Fine Gael.
