Labour will not be involved in formation of next government

Members of the Parliamentary Labour Party today agreed that the Party would not be involved in the formation of the next government, and that the Party would not be a member of the next government.

When it comes to voting for a Taoiseach, we will listen to what the various candidates have to say in terms of the package they put to the Dail; the stability of any arrangement being put forward; and the programme for Govt proposed.

On that basis, we will determine whether we should vote for the candidate, vote against, or abstain.
