Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the Green Party have all stated that there will be no “transfer pacts” or agreements when the election is called.
Taoiseach Simon Harris has stated that the “lifetime of this Dáil is very limited” as he steadfastly confirmed that an election will be held in 2024.
At a press conference in Dublin last Friday, Mr O’Gorman stated that he wanted an election to be called for Friday November 29 as he believed people needed “clarity”. Speaking on Monday, Mr Harris denied that Mr O’Gorman had spoken out of turn or “pressured” him into calling an election. “There's also, I believe, a need to set housing targets because those housing targets do kick in from January 2025 and it's important to try and provide that certainty to build up the progress that has been made around supply. There are a number of other pieces of legislation, supplementary estimates that Minister Donohoe is working on as well. Let's do that and then let's, in an amicable, orderly fashion, then have a general election.
“Each party will campaign individually with their individual priorities and identity. Transfers are fluid. We saw that during the election itself and there won't be any formal pacts.”
