Varadkar: FG-FF policy document ready this week

Second election unlikely as ‘we’re ready to agree a framework document’ on majority government

Taoiseach Leo Varadkar has said that a policy document between Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil could be ready this week, but that a second election is unlikely.

Speaking as negotiating teams from both parties met in Dublin to seek to agree a policy document, Mr Varadkar said the paper will seek to agree how a majority government would work.
