Fianna F

The article from RTE discusses the ongoing government formation talks in Ireland following the recent general election. Key points include the involvement of major parties like Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil, and the Green Party in negotiations to form a coalition government. There's mention of significant policy disagreements, particularly around climate action, housing, and economic recovery post-COVID-19. Leaders from these parties have been meeting frequently, with some progress reported but also considerable hurdles. The talks are described as complex, with each party trying to secure key ministerial positions and policy commitments. There's also mention of public and internal party pressure to reach a deal swiftly to address urgent national issues. However, no final agreement has been reached, and the discussions are set to continue.
