Fianna Fáil willing to back minority coalition involving Labour

Fianna Fáil has indicated a willingness to back a minority government that would also include the Labour Party.

As efforts continue to nail down an agreement for a Fine Gael-led administration, Fianna Fáil TDs also yesterday expressed mixed feelings as to whether any likely pact, of support, should be specified in a written agreement.

Former minister and Limerick City TD Willie O’Dea reiterated his party had tried to put a FF-led minority government in place, but now its only option was to support one led by arch rivals Fine Gael.
