Government formation: Sinn Féin open to Fianna Fáil coalition if tonight's votes fall through

Sinn Féin TD Eoin Ó Broin

Sinn Féin would be open to a coalition with Fianna Fáil in government if today's programme for government vote is defeated.

Sinn Féin have publicly stated in the last week that they are preparing to relaunch talks for a left-led government in the event Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and The Green Party fail to have their draft document for government ratified.
