Programme for Government agreed

Fianna Fail, Fine Gael and The Green Party have this afternoon signed off on the draft programme for government.

It will be published later this afternoon and members of three parliamentary parties will be briefed on the programme this evening.

The document is believed to include a focus on public transport ahead of new roads infrastructure and a commitment for a seven per cent cut in carbon emissions.

The deal will now need to be agreed by the three parties.
