Mary Lou McDonald has told Micheal Martin that people voted for change and not for a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael "grand coalition."It comes after the latter ruled out forming a coalition Government with Sinn Fein.

Speaking after the talks, Ms McDonald said: "I told Micheal Martin that people who voted for Sinn Fein and those who voted more widely for change are angry that Fianna Fail is denying them the respect of sitting down with the party that represents them. "Throughout the election campaign I said that I would talk to everyone after the election because that is what we are duty bound to do with our respective mandates."They did not vote for a Fianna Fail/Fine Gael grand coalition. In fact that is precisely what they voted against last week.

"I will write again to Micheál Martin in the coming days to set out the substance of our position and have asked him to do the same. "Any meeting between us should be about building homes, giving workers and families a break, advancing Irish unity and delivering on the desire of the people for a new Government for Change.”
