Paul Murphy (Dublin South West, RISE) | Oireachtas source

If Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are part of the Government, they will continue to represent the same interests: the developers, corporate landlords and big corporations. What we need to have and fight for is a left Government without Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael. All those parties that say they are on the left should commit to that to rule out a coalition with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael and fight for a left Government, a Government with eco-socialist policies that would actually represent the interests of renters and workers and tackle the climate crisis and not represent the interests of the rich, as the current Government does.
