Greens pulling out?

droidus

Its all over Twitter right now and was just mentioned as a strong possibility on the RTE news.

Talking about it on Newstalk - crisis meeting under way.

the groutch

won't believe it til Cowan goes to the Aras

Red Hand

So, the finance bill...if it collapses now, what happens to the finace bill? Do Fine Gael and Labour have an alternative?

mike65

Dail suspended not sure since when.

nkay1985

How many years too late?

Still though, it would mean an earlier election which we all want so I'll be happy if they do. That won't save them though!

Sponge Bob

Nope, they are trying to get the Foreign Ministry for Eamon Ryan instead

SB-08

If they don't after the contempt this Govt have show to the country this morning alone then they should be locked up on the grounds of gross stupidity.

People have gone beyond anger now. We are a laughing stock internationally - Bloomberg are reporting our Govt are gone missing - this is beyond a disgrace.

The Greens obviously have no respect for themselves let alone the people!

Enough is enough with this shower of vile bastards - and Eamon O'****ing Quiv laughing with his permanent grin throughout the shambles this morning.

People need to flood the Twitter pages of morons like Gogary and Boyle and express this anger. If they don't walk today it is time to take to the streets. This farse cannot continue. It is ruining the dignity of this country and making us look like morons internationally. I am ****ing infuriated.:mad::mad::mad::mad:

It was suspended just after 11.30AM until 1.30PM. I was watching it on RTE. Pure car crash T.V.

John Drennan on Newstalk just called Cowen an idiot.

Eliot Rosewater

In fairness, the Greens are always having these meetings, and it's always the same result. The Greens have cried wolf too many times - I no longer pay attention when these sort of meetings are organised.

I think they've finally had enough though. Nonetheless, we'll know at one o'clock when the news comes on.

I just saw the Gardai escorting the Presidents car across Kevin Street from Stephens Green direction. There was another car, but I couldn't see who was in it...

Here's to hoping...

Yeah it's very much a case of I'll believe it when I see it. We live in hope!

Maybe it's that Fianna Fail doesn't want to pass the Finance Bill

Come on Greens. Give the people the people what they want.

Well if he knows as much about foriegn affairs as broadband I expect us to have declared war on someone by nightfall.

Green PP meeting now re proposed job for boys appointments. Expect collective decision soon. Then it's up to Taoiseach to see sense or go.

from twitter:

The Green Party are practicing the Rhythm Method of politics. Not sure when to pull out & distinct possibility it's too late anyway

Macha

Fingers crossed we walk.

A general election is long overdue.

Enda Kenny earlier:

it's about time the Green Party stopped tweeting and stood up to the mark

spider guardian

the opposition can smell blood. i don't think a cabinet reshuffle is a credible option.

supersean1999

greens not pulling out YET

kev9100

I've said this before, but i really don't think the Greens understand the severity of the situation. They still believe that if they just hang on in there the public will change their mind about them and their masters FF. Obviously, thats pure BS. I just can't see Gormley having the guts to abondon FF.

wellsir

they will bottle it AGAIN

ilovesleep

More folly to get peoples hopes up

wellsir

can the finance bill be delayed?
Can things get any worse?
An international joke

gandalf

RTE One saying that they might not walk if the Taoiseach agrees to double jobbing by existing Ministers. This is a complete and utter farce, it is obvious now that the Government are no longer functioning and an immediate General Election is the only way to facilitate the countries business at this time of crisis.

Bottle_of_Smoke

If I were Trevor Sargent I'd walk right now. He prob has a chance at re-election. Gogarty probably doesn't so passive aggressive tweets are the best he can do. Then if the government stays he can say ''well I'm proud we enacted important legislation'' when he quits.

Can understand(whilst hating) their position. Pull the plug now their legacy will be ''propped up worst government in the history of the state and achieved nothing''

They'd have to have a pair between them to do the right thing and quit, so no.
