Kenny willing to work with Sinn Féin if elected
The Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has said if he is elected Taoiseach he would be willing to work alongside Sinn Féin ministers in the North.
Enda Kenny was speaking from Westminster where he appeared to soften his stance towards Sinn Féin whom he has repeatedly ruled out as a coalition partner.
But Enda Kenny says if he is in power after May 24, he would be happy to work with Sinn Féin in government in the North.
"I don't have any difficulty in standing by my beliefs and principles and I'm very glad to see that Sinn Fein have joined fully in the devolved power situation.
Deputy Kenny went on to express his happiness at Sinn Féin's support of policing, adding: "We get on working as politicians for the betterment of both communities in the North and for the development in the community of Northern Ireland as part of the island of Ireland and I see a very bright future there."
