Simon Coveney has an issue with a Fine Gael coalition with Fianna Fáil

A senior cabinet minister, Fine Gael's Simon Coveney, says he would have an issue with going into government with Fianna Fáil.

Yesterday, the Taoiseach Enda Kenny said he does not "contemplate" doing business with Fianna Fáil, but refused to fully rule out a coalition.
