‘Good chance’ of Alliance bid for second term in office

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar and the Independent Alliance have spoken about aiming for a second term in government together, writes Political Correspondent Juno McEnroe    

Disabilities Minister Finian McGrath says there is a new “energy” in the Government under Mr Varadkar but admits he has threatened to walk out several times since entering power.

In a candid interview with the Irish Examiner, the Independent Alliance member confirmed a second term has been discussed and he thinks the current coalition will last four to five years.
