    Motion of No confidence in Coughlan

    Next step for FG & Labour, a motion of no confidence in Coughlan. Let McGuinness and others back up their criticisms or shut up...

    A no lose situ for the opposition.

    Has there ever been a motion of no confidence in a Tánaiste?

    except that if they lose the vote, they cant table the same motion for another 6 months as far as i know. if she seriously screwed up thereafter (not beyond the realms of possibility), they couldn't do anything
    Oooh, look, a bandwagon!

    I'm sure there was in Harney and others over the years. Should be on her performances as Minister of ETE anyway. She hasn't opened a tenth of the bars and hairdressing salsons as mary!

    I wouldn't give FF the opportunity to say the opposition damaged the goverment irreversibly during an economic crisis.
    They want,crave any chance to cut and run at this point I feel.
    Its only a chat, we ain't the world council.
    In 2000 the Women's Institute in Britain gave Tony Blair the slow hand clap to demonstrate their contempt.
    [COLOR="Red"]It was dignified, restrained and effective.[/COLOR]Doesn't Bertie deserve the same scorn. No shouting, no abuse, no agression just a relentless slow clap whenever he speaks in public would be enough to end that man's presidential fantasy.

    Is this happening of just a dream. Would be interesting, but seems almost cruel.
