Draft programme for government should be ready tonight - FG

A DRAFT PROGRAMME for government agreed between the negotiating teams from Fine Gael and Labour should be ready for publication this evening, according to Fine Gael’s chief negotiator Phil Hogan. Hogan told RTÉ that a draft had been prepared, but that the input of Enda Kenny and Eamon Gilmore was required to reach agreement on a final document. Labour is preparing to hold a special party conference tomorrow, where its members will be asked to rubberstamp any deal.
