Sinn Féin accuse Fianna Fáil of a "certain immaturity"

Sinn Féin has accused Fianna Fáil of ignoring the wishes of the electorate amid uncertainty over the formation of the next Government.

Yesterday, Micheál Martin’s party followed Fine Gael in deciding it would work with any party except Sinn Féin.

That more than likely means Mary Lou McDonald's party will be shut out of government.

Sinn Féin TD Martin Kenny has claimed that this stance “displays a certain immaturity".

“They need to wake up and realise that there has been an election,” he added.


“That they and Fine Gael both lost seats in the election and lost quite a number of seats.

“That other parties gained seats and that the parties that gained seats were the parties that were seeking a different way of doing business and different type of government and a changed government.

“Fianna Fáil needs to sit up and listen and be prepared to accept that they will have to be part of providing at least some sense of hope for people out there who want a change.”

Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said his TDs have unanimously backed the decision not to work with Sinn Féin.
