    I was just reading in the Independent today how Eamon Gilmore tore into the Greens yesterday in the Dail. Is there anywhere I can see this?

    That was Pat Rabbitte today in the Dail. Purple Gorilla was asking for yesterday's showing.

    No, that was Pat Rabbitte on the 8th (which was yesterday when PG posted). PG did ask for Eamon Gilmore tearing into the Greens but I think s/he might have meant Pat.

    I have to agree. Pat Rabbitte was excellent! He had the whole house in fits. The only person who kept a sour face was you know who :mad::D!!

    I must have a look at these clips again. Eamon Gilmore was very strong in his demand for the resignation of the whole of Fianna Fail, from what I remember. It came across well.

    I have one more question which this just reminded me of..(It's probably a stupid question but..) Once the General Elections come around and FF lose their majority, can the Dáil not just have a Vote of no confidence?

    The Dáil gets dissolved when a general election is called and the new Dáil has to elect a Taoiseach when it convenes, so there's no need for a vote of no confidence.

    Great stuff from Pat Rabitte - The Greens are really developing into the laughing stock they've always promised to be....
