Suggestion that Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil's 'old boys club' represents change is 'farcical', says McDonald

The two main parties have made it clear that policy differences with Sinn Féin mean it is unlikely that they will be able to form a government with them.

Update: Mary Lou McDonald has said it would be "farcical" to suggest that a Fine Gael - Fianna Fáil government represents the change people voted for.

The Sinn Féin President has hit out at what she called the "old boys club" for excluding her from government formation talks.
