Independent TDs forming groups ahead of first Dáil sitting

Sinn Féin has invited Independents to talks on potential government formation

Galway East TD Anne Rabbitte said: “It is important that Fianna Fáil would secure the support of the Greens, Labour and the Soc Dems, and then come to the conversation with Fine Gael seeking support on budgetary matters.

Mr Ryan, a TD for Dublin Bay South, said it would take time to negotiate a programme for government to get the level of detail needed. But he said: “It’s several weeks, it’s not days but it shouldn’t be months because there is a job to do and we should get on with it.” Sinn Féin expects to further meetings on potential government formation over the coming days with the Green Party, Labour, People Before Profit, Independents4Change and others.
