Fianna fail should do what they done in the last government with Sinn Fein and the lefties, see how they get on with 100k social housing etc etc. That'd be the end of the left wing parties after that!

This could yet be their undoing.) We probably need them to see it out. Then once the worries have past, let them call another election and people can vote as they wish.

Plumbthedepths wrote: » You miss understood my post, any credit due is to the expert group, the government has stressed on numerous occasions they are following the advice of said group and reacting when advised to do so. Personally I feel they are setting the expert group up for a fall if the sh*t hits the fan, "but we followed your advice".

Do you think that Alan Farrell would have gone to the States had he been Taoiseach? Do you think the Heather Hunphries would have gone into hiding if she was hoiusing minister? Do you think that James Reilly would have done a better job than simple Simon?
