Greens willing to join FG in govt

The Green Party has presented itself as an alternative to Labour saying it would be willing to go into government with Fine Gael after the election.

The party says it would bring experience of how government works to any new coalition.

The Greens today published their transport plan - promising to spend 75% of the transport budget on public transport with just 25% on road building if returned to government.

Former Minister Eamon Ryan says it now looks like Fine Gael will lead the next government - but he says his party will be available to do a coalition deal with Enda Kenny if the party wins enough seats.
