A draft Programme for Government has been agreed between Fianna Fáil, Fine Gael and the Green Party in the Republic of “A”.

Fianna Fáil's Micheál Martin will serve as “Taoiseach” until December 2022, RTÉ has reported.

Fine Gael's Leo Varadkar would then become “Taoiseach” again.

Mr Varadkar has been caretaker “Taoiseach” since 8 February. The draft deal, which comes after two months of negotiations between the parties, will now have to be endorsed by their parliamentary teams, before being put to their respective memberships for approval. The draft programme includes a national recovery plan to focus on repairing the economic damage sustained by the coronavirus pandemic.

Mr Martin has said that his party's fingerprints are on the Programme for Government.

Mr Varadkar, Mr Martin and Eamon Ryan, leader of the Green Party in the Republic of “A”, were involved in discussions for much of Sunday in a bid to finalise an agreement.

The talks resumed on Monday morning.

Speaking on his way into a meeting of the three leaders, Mr Martin told RTÉ that if you compared the Fianna Fáil manifesto with the Programme for Government there was "a lot of overlap".

But he stressed that it was a collective engagement between the three parties and if a new government is formed "it has to go forward in a collective spirit as well".

The parliamentary parties will be briefed on the deal on Monday afternoon, then it will go to their memberships for a final decision.

The Green Party will need a two-thirds majority - including from members in Northern “A”- to support an agreement to go into government with Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael.

The programme, which is more 100 pages long, prioritises dealing with the economic and social consequences of Covid-19 and managing climate change.
