Ireland politics (Part 1)

Francis and Enda might go but if the Government collapses it will put back any kind of inquiry for at least six months and Noirin will essentially have no boss u til there is a new government in place

If the transcript backs mccabe O’Sullivan will be fired

Hopefully the Kaiser takes the top job as a stop gap before the next election.

True. The other option might be that Martin could approach Kenny in the next 24 hours and his price for support / abstaining could be O’Sullivan and or Fitzgerald

Er, uh, well, uh, In light of these new facts, of which I now realize I was largely aware

Sinn Féin are very calculatingly putting the new breed forward to state their position on this scandal. Poor, old Gerry has barely been seen in a week. It’s Mary Lou leading the charge along with Louise O’Reilly (she looks like she’d fucking kill you so she’s possibly is a nice bridge to the old brigade).

The good thing about this scandal is that there are so many competing interests it’s impossible for any one side to control the narrative and information flow. The various government members keep getting caught on the hop.

Great to see fingalian socialists with an aviation background such as daly and o reilly leading the charge

Daly is from Kildare and O Reilly is from the Crumlin /Drimnagh area.

Surely FF have no option but to pass a motion of no confidence given what has gone on?

Like I said they might put the gun to Kenny’s head and demand the removal of O’Sullivan and or Fitzgerald in order to abstain. This might be the only door left open to Kenny

Not enough.

It would be great if SF pulled down the establishment both sides of the border within a month of each other.

It may be enough if it gets the commission /public inquiry up and running

Not enough.

We’ll find out soon enough

The only thing that will keep the government in place is the fact that FF wouldn’t have a hope of pulling a government together after an election so they won’t agitate id say.

Unless they bit the bullet and pulled SF in with them…

That’s why it’s conceivable that O’Sullivans and / Fitzgeralds head might be enough to keep Kenny in power. The problem for FG though is that absolutely noone has any idea of how much shit is left to come out. And as I said before this whole hospital waiting list scandal has still only scratched the surface. That could be another tinking timebomb.

I believe there are further unrelated Tusla scandals around the corner as well.

The garda union is very quiet on all this.

If this is true then there’s no point. Throw in the ball and be done with it.
