Boyle: 'No deal yet, but we've moved a lot closer'

Dan Boyle has denied earlier media reports that a deal has been done between Fianna Fáil and the Green Party of the formation of a government.

"We've moved a lot closer (and) the number of issues we have had disagreements on has reduced," said Mr Boyle, adding that they were using the "opportunity" of these last hours of negotiations to address a number of "fundamental" issues.
