    Motion of no confidence coming, I can smell it...

    I note with interest that guests to the tribunal over the next 11 days will include, Ray MacSharry, Padraig Flynn, Albert Reynolds and Joe Burke, not to mention, Edmund Kay a central figure in connection with Ahern's finances. No doubt there are stormy seas ahead for our Leader.

    However the Taoiseach will have the deep blue Atlantic sea between himself and the devilish Tribunal; for he is due to address the US Congress in mid-April (according to their press office) which means he will probably be abroad for much of this testimony.

    Imho, it is likely, with Ahern treading water abroad, that the opposition will launch yet another motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach. I doubt it will happen before he leaves, "when the cat's away" and all that. But I do believe such a Motion would be far more threatening to FF than any that have preceded it so far.

    But then you believe and have on your web site that “Mr. Ahern stated under oath that lodgements made into his Irish Permanent accounts during the time (1994) were related to his salary only“, and you’re wrong there as has already been pointed out to you.
    So, in the light of that, what are we to make of what you believe will happen now?
