    Yes. They would have no other option.

    You and other normal people might think so.

    The decision rests with about 83 people in the Dáil who think differently to most of us.

    Correct, this government is finished, and Cowen knows it. Thats why he has not even bothered to replace Willie as he knows there is no point.

    It will be interesting to hear what John Gormley and Eamon Ryan have to say on this topic.
    Would Friday 26th March be a suitable date for the election?

    This is in Trevor Sargents back yard, he wont be able to vote confidence in Sweary Mary when the proof that Ryanair made an offer to the government for hanger 6 is revealed.

    Anybody got any word on how the opposition are going to handle this next week? Are we going to see a move to push for a vote of no confidence in Coughlan or Cowen or both?

    Any of the FG, LAB OR SF members on P ie got any info they would like to share?

    Gormley will stick to FF to the end, Ryan is made of different stuff and seems to have copped on. The one to watch on this is Trevor Sargent, as this is all in his back yard.

    The actions of FF over this are a disgrace. Ryanair did all the could to get hanger 6 before FF gave it Aer Fungus.
