Fine Gael members have approved the programme for government and voted to form a coalition with Fianna Fáil and the Greens

The programmed passed with Yes 80% to No 20% out of the 674 votes  (a 95% turnout).

90% of their TDs, Senators and MEPs voted in favour of the deal.

It was 85% among the national executive, and 71% support among constituency delegates.

However, just 57% of local councillors in Fine Gael voted in favour.
