The Labour leader is defending plans for a left alliance after the election.
Ivana Bacik says she’d like to explore the possibility of forming a pact with other left-leaning parties like the Social Democrats and the Greens.
But Social Democrats’ co-founder Catherine Murphy responded yesterday by saying Labour has never suggested a merger or invited her for a coffee over the last five years.
Ivana Bacik says it’s something to be discussed after polling day.
