Mary Lou McDonald (Dublin Central, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

There is a choice here. Either Fianna Fáil can do the honest thing and cross the floor to form a coalition by agreeing a programme for Government and delivering it or we can go to the people without delay. What causes instability is uncertainty and delay. We are into just the latest episode of that. Fianna Fáil wishes to be all things to all people at all times but it has been found out. Particularly facing into the huge, historic and generational challenge of Brexit, we need a stable Government. As such, we have two options. Fianna Fáil can cross the floor and go into government. Its members should get out of their high chair and sit with the big boys and some girls at their table or go to the people. Let us have an election and a fresh mandate to let a new and progressive Government emerge.
