Galway Fianna Fail TD warns against forming emergency government with Fine Gael

Galway Bay fm newsroom - A Galway TD is warning of the dangers of forming an emergency government with Fine Gael in the face of the coronavirus outbreak.

Galway West Fianna Fail TD Eamon Ó Cuiv says many of his party's colleagues are opposed to any coalition with Fine Gael - despite the spread of Covid-19.

Both parties have agreed to hold detailed talks about forming an administration, and they're likely to begin today.

Deputy O'Cuiv says the country needs a government that will effectively work after the current health crisis is resolved - for more, tune in to Galway Bay fm news...
