But speaking at Sinn Fein’s public meeting in Dublin’s Liberty Hall this evening, McDonald answered a question on whether her party would join the demonstrations by saying it would instead seek to negotiate with other parties about forming a Government.“I would say this to you – the focus of our work is on negotiations with other parties and of course talking to all of you and engaging with you.

During the event, McDonald also criticised the leaders of Fine Gael and Fianna Fail for refusing to meet Sinn Féin for government formation talks. “The vote for change was a vote to get Fianna Fail and Fine Gael out of government and not to put them back in.”
