New Taoiseach election deadline in doubt over party approval
Briefly

Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael are facing significant delays due to the need for grassroots meetings to validate their Programme for Government ahead of the January 22 vote.
Party sources in Fine Gael express that there is 'no hope' of meeting the January 22 deadline due to the lengthy ratification process required.
The ratification involves holding multiple regional meetings, thus necessitating that a document be finalized by this weekend for member approval.
The ratification process mimics the election of a party leader, including a series of regional discussions followed by member votes.
