Donegal TD reveals secret talks and suggests inevitable SF will be part of government soon

Donegal TD Thomas Pringle has said it is only a matter of time before Fine Gael or Fianna Fail does a deal with Sinn Féin to form a government.

In a wide ranging Hot Press interview Mr Pringle - who describes himself as a “Republican” independent – went on: "Fine Gael will go into coalition with whoever will keep them in power! Like Fianna Fail.”
