President of Sinn Fein, Mary Lou McDonald, joined Ivan on Monday evening's edition of the Hard Shoulder.

With the prospect of a new government within the coming days, Mary Lou and her party are facing some time being locked out of power.

However, a lot can still happen before then.

Ivan asked her about Sinn Fein's plans for opposition, whether they want to be in power, and whether she thinks the Green Party might scupper the prospect of a Government being formed this week.
