    Fine Gael Front Bench

    Richard Bruton did Morning Ireland when the election was called, Week in Politics, photo shoot on Tuesday and Prime Time last night.

    Where is the alternative cabinet. Have they only one viable option to be a minister?

    They even have Frank Flannery looking after the press conferences.

    This is where I would see tension coming from in a possible FG/Labour coalition. Suppose the cabinet positions are divided nine to FG, six to Labour. Labour have enough heavyweights to fill those six and more than that if they wanted to, whereas FG would struggle to find impressive figures. FG and Labour were last in coalition together, so there's no reason for Labour to seem more experienced, except for FG's loss of seats last time. The meat in the sandwich factor makes the current government seem PD oriented to some with only two PDs in cabinet, so I would certainly think that with six Labour ministers they would dominate.
