Party leader says he would not speak to Fine Gael about forming government after general election but would be open to talks with Fianna Fáil
Aontú wants to ‘see change in relation to the law on abortion’, Peadar Tóibín saysEducation used to be the path to owning a home. Now it’s all about assets
He added: “I’m happy to have a conversation on the issue of abortion for sure, but I will say the issues of accountability, housing, healthcare, transport and regional development are the issues coming up on the door in the main. A recent review ordered by the State also recommended the removal of the three day wait to access abortion medication, but Mr Tóibín said his party wants to maintain this.
Mr Tóibín said he would not consider having government formation talks with Fine Gael or the Green Party but would possibly talk to Fianna Fáil because they are “different”.
