'We're not refusing to speak to anyone': Leo open to SF talks - but won't go in Govt

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said Sinn Féin has not yet responded to his offer to talk but said again he will not go into Government with them.

Mr Varadkar disclosed on Tuesday that he wrote to Sinn Féin to inform them that he and his party are ready to enter exploratory talks but not talks aimed at forming a government and Mary Lou McDonald has not yet responded.
