Katherine Zappone Envoy Gig

A quick Google would indicate that this is not true.

Who are they going to vote for instead? ;)

Grumpy Alan Kelly coming up on morning Ireland, I won't be doing running commentary for fear of being QUESTIONED about my right to post on this platform 😏

EDIT, apologies, Mary Lou up shortly, for those who want to cover their ears 🤣🤣

Did I mention that Chilling Party, SF having their Think in today 😏

Apparently the memo was delivered by way of paper airplane 😏

Surely that would never happen 👀👀😏

I had high hopes for the SDs as an alternative when they started out but they seem to be much the same in being power hungry and thinking of themselves and leader ambitions and their most high profile TD joining FF of all partys for a cabinet position.

Will probably vote for them still if i thought they could seriously get traction and run enough candidates to do damage otherwise it will be SF again especially if they can lead to the effective demise of FF/FG after they forced them to join together in the last election

Hard to know, there's a number who've been very critical of the debacle and FG but I equally think part of it was getting a dig in at their own leadership. Everyone knows who they are so voting confidence will be very very difficult to explain and Justify. Jim o callaghan and Barry Cowan in particular will be ridiculed if the vote confidence and rightly so.

There's going to be fireworks tomorrow, should be interesting 😏

Alan Kelly was asked this morning what way he would vote. He said he would not vote no confidence, although he and Labour have no confidence in the government (he kept stressing as though it meant something). Then when asked was it because Bakic went to the the Merrion he said "no, no no, not at all, Ivan has been very upfront about this in the media, she came out and apologised about it and everything"..

Yeah, yesterday, as she knew the Dail was recommencing and she couldn't keep dodging everyone.

As far as I know all Opposition parties voting no confidence, unless I've missed something, Kelly is like a petulant child , spouting nonsense about it not being the priority of the Irish People, I suspect he's quite bitter at labour not being the main Opposition party 😏

Drives me bonkers how well the welfare and criminal class are under FFG, along with NGOs and all their defenders keep saying is they will not vote for left leaning politicians because they are soft on crime, pro welfare, woke brigade, etc

Yep, the Zappone fiasco up for discussion
