The Teams Involved In Government Formation Talks Will Meet Over The Weekend

It's as pressure mounts to reach a deal
The leaders of Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party all said they wanted the negotiations done by the end of May - which now won't happen.
Issues involving social protection and finance will be discussed over the weekend with agriculture on next week's agenda.
Sources say there's a possibility a programme for government will be finalised next week - but others think it will take longer before anything can be put to the parties.
