The Green Party announce that they’re entering talks with Fine Gael and Fianna Fail to form a government




The Green Party have announced that they’re going to enter government talks with Fine Gael and Fianna to form a coalition.

According to RTE, a statement released from the Green party said: “The Green Parliamentary Party have decided today to enter formal talks with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael with a view to developing a programme for government.

“We are conscious of the huge challenges facing any Government in the Covid-19 crisis. The party will now work with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael to develop a deal that respects our mandate with a view to presenting that agreement to Green Party members for approval.

“Green Party approval of any programme for government will require support of two thirds of the Green Party voting membership.

“Any proposal must be transformative on climate action and commit to strong progress towards a more sustainable and fairer society.

“If this is not the case, Green Party representatives will withdraw from negotiations and pursue their mandate in opposition and work to hold the government to account.”
