It seems that leaders within the business world foresee no issues with working with Sinn Fein, should the party be in the next Government.

As the General Election results take shape, Bloomberg suggested now “could be a good time to dump the country’s bonds” as risks may increase, citing the spending promises by Sinn Féin.

Two business leaders joined Ivan in studio to discuss whether this was a fair summation.

Brian Hayes is the CEO of the Banking Payments Federation of Ireland, and Danny McCoy is the CEO of IBEC.  They told Ivan why we really shouldn't be getting worried about it, while Ivan told them they were in denial over what the people of Ireland voted for.
