Green Party contemplates Fianna Fáil coalition

The Green party has refused to rule out a coalition with Fianna Fáil after the next general election.

The Green Party has refused to rule out a coalition with Fianna Fáil after the next general election.

Yesterday Fine Gael's leader Enda Kenny said he would be willing to invite the Greens in to a rainbow coalition with the Labour Party.

Last year Green Party members voted against forming any coalition pacts before this year's general election.

However party TD Ciarán Cuffe said if the numbers stack up, he could be in favour of a Fianna Fáil - Green Government.

“I would hate to rule out the biggest party in the state. Certainly I'd be more comfortable working with other parties,” he said.

“There are individuals in Fianna Fáil that I don't get on particularly well with. But I think we all have to be mature and grown up about this. We need to start looking at what policies can be implemented and by whom."
