Sinn Féin leader unhappy with some contents of programme for government

The Sinn Fein leader says she is extremely concerned about some of the contents of the new programmer for government - calling it more of the same.

The political parties have started putting their proposed deal to party members, but there's sceptics in all parties as a two week voting process is being prepared.

While the deal is expected to pass the Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil memberships, the Green Party is far less certain.

Leo Varadkar says there will be a political crisis if the programme for government doesn't get passed.

But Sinn Fein Leader Mary McDonald isn't so sure.

"These calls are calls for the Green Party, and the grassroots in Fianna Fáil, they're going to have to consider very carefully what to do next I would say to all concerned.

"I am extremely concerned that it's more of the same in housing and the core issues that impact on people.

"They may go along with what their leaderships propose, and therefore we will lead the opposition."
