Fine Gael To Meet Other Parties To Discuss New Govt
Fine Gael is to hold a series of meetings with other parties, groups and independent bodies to discuss the make-up of the next Government.
In a statement released on the Fine Gael website, Taoiseach Enda Kenny, said: "Despite the disappointing outcome of the election, which did not return the outgoing Fine Gael – Labour Government, Fine Gael will be the largest group in the new Dáil and we are determined to play our part in providing the Irish people with a Government committed to working on their behalf.
"We will engage fully and inclusively with other parties, groups and independent deputies to ensure that such a Government is established.
"In consultation with our elected representatives, we will formulate a set of principles that will guide Fine Gael participation in a future government. These principles will take account of the issues of concern that were highlighted and prioritised by the Irish people during the election campaign.
"We look forward to discussing these and other ideas with the other parties and groups in a new Dáil that reflects the changed circumstances following the election."
