FF-PD coalition 'inevitable' - Lowry

Independent North Tipperary deputy Michael Lowry has said that a Fianna Fail - Progressive Democrats coalition is inevitable.

Negotiations to form the next government are not expected before the weekend and a Fianna Fail - PD coalition is the favourite outcome.

Mr Lowry believes only the PDs themselves might lose their place in government.

"I think it’s inevitable that we will have a Fianna Fail - PD coalition. I think the only way that will not happen is if the PDs are totally unreasonable and demand too much, and it’s a possibility they will demand too much," he said.
