Adams: Bigger the SF team, the better

Sinn Féin president Gerry Adams has said a Fine Gael-Labour coalition would not represent a change in direction for the government, and that therefore "the larger the Sinn Féin team (in the Dáil), the better".

Sinn Féin is facing a battle with Fianna Fáil to be the biggest party in opposition, if tallies prove correct once the official count is completed.
