Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald has said that should a government of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party "come to be", then her party was "ready for business" and to provide what she called "the most coherent and effective opposition in the history of this State".
Ms McDonald said that this "agreement for more of the same" was not the only deal possible, and that Leo Varadkar and Micheál Martin had excluded Sinn Féin from government talks and in doing so "excluded the demand for change coming from the people".
The Labour Party has said it welcomes the significant movement by the two main parties on environmental issues, but expressed disappointment at the lack of costings among other issues. Meanwhile, the Social Democrats have reiterated their call for a clear outline of how it is intended to fund the measures included in the programme for government.
There isn’t the money for a sinn fèin government. You would need billions to follow through on their promises.
They havnt gone away you know
Whinge Fein - showing their true colours now, total amateurs. They had 126 days to do something and they did NOTHING, except talk bullshit. Nobody wanted anything to do with them, not even the left, the hard left or the left overs. Crawl back under your stone
See the relief on the face. Opposition handy place for back seat drivers
Instead of a “more insane” agreement
She never did anything to try and form a government she has done this to herself
Hahahahahahahahahahahahahaha
Not more of same ? In challenging times we need a stable government willing to be unpopular at times in longer term interests of all?
Get 'em, Mary Lou
Won't win as many votes in next elect.. Missed 🛳
I'd be opposed to the idea of Sinn Féin sitting there and saying NO while tut tuting and giving every one the stink eye
Now you're talking ....new direction needed , you got my vote ...anything better then the three stooges !!
Snipe Féin
Pburke_2002 Shoulda, coulda, didnt wanna. SinnFail
I feel bad for all the naive people who voted for them. SF never had an interest in being in gov and doing the hard work, especially not now during a crisis. They have no sound economic policies to this day. They will not do a good job in opposition. Slán!
Spin fein. What a joke. Nothing worse than a spectator shouting from the side lines. One thing for sure no responsibility no repercussions. Spin fein have no black members. Should ask them about white previledge.
Do they ever run out of BS
SF had a real opportunity at GE2020 but dropped the ball, instead of putting forward real, workable policies they went with populist guff and rhetoric. A failure of a party.
Finally she speaks! Months of silence, it's as if SF couldn't even be bothered. Something very fishy about this whole arrangement, I for one will never be voting again.
