It is not a case that Ireland favours a coalition government, but that the elections often result in them. There are a number of main political parties in Ireland, not just two as in many countries. The electoral system is a proportional representation system. As this is the case, it is hard for one party to get an overall majority in a general election. The result of that is that there are often coalition governments in Ireland.
