TDs: we are not looking beyond Friday to seal the government deal

TDs from across the Dáil insist that they are not looking beyond this Friday for alternatives to the proposed programme for government, despite growing doubt that the Green Party membership will pass the deal.

Fianna Fail's Darragh O’Brien said that he had a "number of good discussions" with the Greens and hoped they would form part of the government.
