Brendan Howlin toes party line on Sinn Féin ‘arrangement’

Labour leader Brendan Howlin, too, called for a progressive alliance of the left and has called for such parties to agree a “common agenda” if they are in government together.

A majority of people don’t want Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil back in power and now have the option to make that happen, Richard Boyd Barrett has said. He called on all other left-wing parties not to “prop up” the old establishment parties of Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil.

The leader of People Before Profit said he wants a left-wing government and called on Sinn Féin to commit to an arrangement featuring the Greens, the Labour Party, the Social Democrats, and themselves.
