Covid-19 to hit parties' votes on government formation
Reading now: 826
Government formation is often a marathon. But now the pace had quickened with pressure mounting on parties to come together in the national interest as the country grapples with the Covid-19 emergency.
Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil have been worked on a joint policy document. The two parties have a combined 72 seats which is eight short of a majority.
Now attention is turning to the Labour Party, The Greens, the Social Democrats and groups of Independent TDs. The question is which if any will jump on board the government formation bandwagon?
But even if there is enough support to form a new administration there will also be a challenge for parties to get their members to back an agreement in the era of social distancing.
