If O’Riordain gets it they’ll really be in bother.
They may have 4-5 seats which could prove vital in the formation of a government. An SF/FF coalition may well be a runner, but I don’t believe that they will have enough seats between them without needing support from another minor partner or partners.
It would make sense for Labour, the SDs and the non radical Greens to coalesce but it will never happen.
Bacik to take over?
Big Dunc was one of the main 3 who ousted Kelly according to the examiner
He’s something alright.
Really? Didnt know that. Informative. Still cant seebhim getting it.
Did he not tell you that at the Cumann meeting?
I havent attended one ever would you believe…
Did O’Riordain stab him in the back?
Not that i know of. Ive no idea what happened to be honest.
I only caught a few seconds of his speech from the plinth this evening.
The likes of Bacik, Nash, Sherlock and Ian Duncan Smith were all there around him but no sign of the King of Woke. He might have been there hidden somewhere but he definitely wasn’t within camera shot.
EDIT : He was there alright, at the very back row looking very sheepish.
He was over planting sunflowers on Bull Island, I heard.
Also, is Brendan Howlin the shortest TD ever elected to the Dail? The cut of him.
@Bandage how does Howlins vote consistently hold up in Wexford even when Labour are being obliterated everywhere else?
Like Big Willie Penrose back in the day, just a personal vote, innit?
Also, see Willie O’Dea in 2011 when FF were routed everywhere.
Kelly hasn’t been given a fair crack at the job at all.
How long is he in the position? Same timeframe as Covid?
Agree but Labour are just a sideshow these days only hope they have is SF get in make a balls of it and merge with the SDs
Kelly was the most right wing labour leader since Tony Blair
