Taoiseach and Tanaiste insist there will be no voting pact for re-election of current Government in upcoming election

"My party will contest the election as a stand-alone political party. I obviously try to maximise the number of people who wish to vote for my party and the number of seats we have in the next Dáil."

"We're not we're not going into the election with a transfer pact. That is true. But having said that... if people think this government's doing a good job, they may wish to vote in that manner."

"The Fine Gael leader will look to establish the necessary timelines for the passage of the Finance Act and other key pieces of legislation."

"I think this Government has worked well together. We are three different parties who mutual respect."
