Micheál Martin: Fianna Fáil members 'get the urgency' for Government amid Covid-19

Mícheál Martin says members of Fianna Fáil know the country urgently needs a government with the authority to deal with the pandemic.

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have welcomed the news that Green Party TDs will join their negotiating teams in formal coalition talks.

The Greens' 12 seats would give a new government a slim majority, which is expected to be bolstered by deals with independents.
