Several Fine Gael Ministers say they won't reconsider going into government with Sinn Féin after next election
It's after two polls in a row have Sinn Féin as comfortably the most popular party in the country.
Fine Gael says it won't enter into coalition talks with Mary Lou McDonald's party.
Minister Heather Humphreys thinks the two couldn't mix:
"Of course we're going to have polls, I think the satisfaction for the government in this poll has gone up, the satisfaction for our leader and the Tánaiste has gone up. So, again, as I say, there's a body of work to be done, my focus is getting on with that job, there's a lot of things that need to be addressed. Well as far as I'm concerned the policies of Fine Gael and the policies of Sinn Féin are like oil and water, they don't mix."
