Pearse Doherty hit out against Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael for refusing to engage with Sinn Féin.

Micheal and Danny Healy Rae are to chat to Mary Lou McDonald this afternoon. Micheal and Danny Healy Rae are to chat to Mary Lou McDonald this afternoon. SINN FÉIN’S PEARSE Doherty has said his party is intensifying its discussions with parties and Independents today around forming a government for change.

“Discussions with individual government departments will take place in the week ahead on a number of priorities including building homes, cutting rents and freezing them, health, climate change, reducing the pension age to 65, giving workers and families a break and advancing Irish unity,” Doherty told reporters today at Leinster House.

SF Pearse Doherty says yesterday’s discussions with Sec Gen Martin Fraser were very useful - papers are expected back to them on a number of issues, he says. Meanwhile, Richard Boyd Barrett and Mick Barry and Paul Murphy of Solidarity-People Before Profit have said they are willing to vote for Mary Lou McDonald, on the condition that our support is used to attempt to assemble a left minority government, and not to facilitate a return to power of either Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael.

Unusually, no agenda was circulated ahead of tonight’s meeting, leading to speculation that there may be some movement in the FF camp and chatter that Micheál Martin will appoint his party’s negotiating team.Nominations for the role of Ceann Comhairle will close at 6pm.
