Fianna Fáil must decide to go into government if they want to deliver

It has been almost three weeks since the election, and in that period we have been subjected to prolonged theatrical shadow boxing by our politicians, with many of them acting like spoiled overgrown school children so as to gain political advantage at our expense.

Fine Gael appear to be more amenable to a coalition with Fianna Fáil than Fianna Fáil are, despite the diversionary tactics being staged by Fianna Fáil.

Unfortunately, such an arrangement is the only combination to command a majority with similar policies and political ethos. The people voted for an overwhelming majority of TDs from those parties to represent them and it ought to be incumbent on those parties to honour the people’s choice and form a government together.
