    An extra Junior Minister for the Greens

    What odds can you get on an extra Junior Minister for the Greens in the upcoming reshuffle?

    The Govt is now effectively dependent on Green support – if they pull out the Govt will certainly fall.

    So has John Gormley flexed his political muscle to secure extra representation in the half-car ranks?

    And, if so, which of his TDs will enjoy the honour?

    Prob cos nobody cares, these gimps dont do anything, speculation on this would be the same as the lads on foot.ie speculation on the line up of the Irish under 21 team playing in a friendly against the Faroe Islands.

    If the Greens are to get an extra junior minister it'll probably Mary White...she's the only one I can think of who is prominent enough...and if the geography element is being counted on she'll be poised to get it.

    Perhaps this should become the breaking news thread on this issue. Can a mod change the title?

    I think the net figure is 10 of the existing 20 gone with 5 new Junior Ministers.

    IF there is a Fianna Glas person it will be her, she has become more FF than FF recently.
