Coveney: Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael can make it work this time

Simon Coveney acknowledged that there was a perception that smaller parties get “squeezed out”, but he did not believe that would be the case this time.

Tánaiste Simon Coveney has said that he thinks Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael “can make it work this time” in forming a government.

Speaking on the Morning Mix show on South East radio, Mr Coveney said that he wants other parties involved and that he thought the Greens, Labour and Social Democrats will reevaluate when they see the framework document.
