Irish Deputy Premier Martin may form coalition but doubts new government by Christmas.

Irish Deputy Premier Micheál Martin, leading Fianna Fáil, the election's winner with 48 seats, has declined to comment on a rotating Taoiseach (Irish Prime Minister) arrangement for the next government. Forming a coalition with Fine Gael is likely, but Martin does not expect a new government to be in place by Christmas. Key issues like housing and the economy will guide coalition talks.
