The article from RTE discusses the ongoing negotiations for government formation in Ireland following a recent election. It highlights the challenges faced by the major parties in forming a coalition due to ideological differences and voter expectations. Key points include the Fine Gael party's attempt to secure a coalition with Fianna Fáil, despite historical rivalries, and the potential influence of smaller parties like the Green Party, which could play a pivotal role in deciding the government's environmental policies. Additionally, there's mention of Sinn Féin's increased vote share, complicating traditional alliances. The article also touches on public sentiment, with many voters expressing frustration over the slow pace of government formation, and the possibility of another election if no agreement is reached.
