Sinn Féin's objective for the next General Election is to form a government without the support of Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael, the party's finance spokesman Pearse Doherty said tonight.
He was speaking to party members in Athlone where they are gathered to debate motions tonight and tomorrow. However, in his speech Mr Doherty did not rule out coalition with the Green Party, which is currently in government with Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil."The longer Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael remain in government the worse the housing crisis gets – we have record homelessness, record high rents and unaffordable house prices.
