Fianna  Fáil and Fine Gael are on track to form a new coalition in Election 2024 without the support of a third party, it emerged last night.

Despite having spent the last four years in Government, the Green Party is potentially facing a total wipeout in the current election.

The shape of the next government is emerging. Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael have both reiterated their view tonight that they want to form a stable government.

The two main parties in the outgoing Irish government have again ruled out Sinn Fein as a potential coalition partner in the next government. The leaders of Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and Sinn Féin were taking part in a TV debate just days before the general election.
