FF/FG policy document to be presented to leaders today

The document agreed by Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for a potential framework for government is to be presented to the party leaders this afternoon.

The document, which has been described as a "broad framework for government" has been produced by the respective negotiating teams from both parties over the last number of weeks, in the hopes of enticing a smaller party into coalition to make up the 80 seat majority needed to form a government.
