Greens will stay in as long as it takes to get their proposed legislation enacted especially the Climate Change bill because they know they wont be elected again for a long time.
Dunphy on Newstalk there are few minutes ago, he called Cowen an idiot. 
I’d say he would have liked to say something stronger
No chance of that. They’ve pretty much given up on climate change bill. If they think this is FF fucking about then they’ll go.
BURN EM OUT OF IT…
You sure about Climate change bill Rocko, even Martin mentioned it the other night after the vote of confidence as one of the pieces of legislation to be passed before the election.
General Election on the 11th of March. The Fat fucker just said it.
Articles in the paper detailing how much the Climate Bill is going to cost the economy. I reckon it won’t make it. An inter-party group have recommended shelving it in its current form, which would basically mean the end of it as the Greens are going back to the woods indefinitely.
If they push it, the government might fall sooner as FF backbenchers might revolt and vote against it.
Christ, Kenny is rambling on like a fool here
These thiings are constantly chanigng but Greens would be happy enough to get the Finance Bill done and get out of there. If it came to Climate Change Bill or an earlier election they’d choose the latter. Not a good PR move for them to have their bill delaying things if they’re pushing for a quick dissolution.
Anyway looks like they’ve settled on 11th March for the election and no new ministers.
Yeah even got the date of the election wrong. God Help us we are fucked.
Is Cowen a sole dictator now so for the next 6 weeks?

Who’s the fat lad, 2nd in on row just behind cowen?
Oh good Lord Jesus as if things cant get bad enough Mary Coughlan is now Minister for health. Dont anyone get sick between now and April.
Fair play to the Greens here.
Cowen obviously trying to pull a fast one but they pulled him up on it and demanded an election date to be set.
You have to admit it was some stunt that Cowen tried to pull. If only he would have put so much effort into running the country maybe we wouldn’t be in the shitter like we are.
Pat Carey, the utter excuse for a man, is coming on RTE soon to spout some more shite.
Yeah it was shocking to be honest.
What is wrong with TDs who are resigning remaining in their protfolio for another couple of months - what difference does it make?
Nothing at all Farmer, just FF trying to pull another PR stunt.
How do people think FF will do in this election? Despite their standing in the opinion polls I can still see them geting between 45-55 seats.
I see Mary Harney retires on a €120,000 a year pension where she would only recieve €90,000 if she stayed put. Its hardly any wonder they’re bailing out.
