A breakthrough in government formation talks has been achieved as Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael, and regional independent TDs have reached an agreement on a draft programme for government.
Sources indicate that the final document is expected to be formally agreed upon either this evening or early tomorrow, marking a significant step toward establishing Ireland’s next government.
According to The Irish Examiner, the deal represents a coalition between the two traditionally largest parties in Irish politics and independent representatives from various regions, potentially ending months of negotiations following last year’s general election.
This development comes after intensive discussions on several key issues, including housing, healthcare, and regional development, though specific details of the agreement have yet to be made public.
