Labour won't rule out working with Sinn Féin in government

Labour has not ruled out working with Sinn Fein in government, calling on left-leaning parties to join forces in voting pacts as the general election campaign gets underway.

While Labour hopes to at least double its Dail seats to at least 14, Sinn Fein admitted it would try and consolidate its huge gains from the last election in 2016.
