Mary Lou McDonald: 'The idea of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael being returned again for five years is unthinkable'

Mary Lou McDonald remains adamant that a coalition of the left can still be formed which would bring Sinn Féin into Government, and said that the idea of Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael returning to power for five years is “unthinkable”.

“I mean this, as clear as day, we have been elected in very large numbers to be in Government, even to lead the next Government,” she said.
