Ireland politics (Part 2)

There’s that also

So there were 148 in the chamber, a fullish muster from the Government parties. Based on that there were 12 who didn’t bother their holes attending at all today. These need to be named for transparency sake so the electorate can see what their representatives are doing on their behalf.

Any clues?

Cathal is some man to look after his vote

This is one accounted for

Micheál Martin. I’m warming to him a small bit. Perhaps it’s because his uncle was a POW or possibly because he’s saying all the right things lately.

He’s back

I suppose MM can be happy at least its not Varadkar that is getting called Taoiseach.

I heard a bit on RTE 1 while driving today, on some of today’s exchanges in the Dail on the energy crisis and the tough winter ahead… The opposition all threw different ideas at Mick Martin with the common theme of we need to act now. Mick Martin:s response to each of them was that we are effectively waiting for direction from the EU before we do anything. @farmerinthecity and @gilgamboa and @Fat_Pox et al (probably @Locke and @backinatracksuit also) were lauding him as a gentleman recently… That he may be, but he’s a stone useless coward of a politician…

Of course they moved onto the next piece and it was about Ursula’s EU address and within that about the 140 billion in tax she’s going to raise from energy companies to give to member states to help alleviate high bills this winter…it was then clear as day as to why mick Martin is holding out for direction from the EU.

Because it would have been stupid to launch off half cocked before knowing what the EU was going to do first?

Great leadership from MM not being swayed by the crowd and rushing into the wrong move

We need to give FF more time

Another 100 years?
