Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil joint policy framework gets green light by respective parliamentary parties
Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil’s respective parliamentary parties have given the green light to the joint policy framework that could pave the way for the formation of a Government, two months after General Election 2020. The result of a bilateral engagement between the two parties, the 24-page draft document is largely focussed on facilitating negotiations with other parties on a plan to recover, rebuild and renew Ireland after the COVID-19 crisis. Beyond that, the focus is to respond decisively to the agenda of change in terms of housing, health, climate action and quality of life. It contains 10 key missions aimed at improving the overall well-being of Irish people and society.
- Reigniting and Renewing the Economy
- Universal Healthcare
- Housing for All
- A New Social Contract
- A New Green Deal
- A Better Quality of Life for All
- Supporting Young Ireland
- Opportunities through Education and Research
- A Shared Island
- At the Heart of Europe: Global Citizenship
The two parties are now expected to begin negotiations with other political parties in order to secure a majority to form a coalition.
