    Jesus Christ we havent even got a nomination for Ceann Chomhairle.
    Ireland interests are best secured within a more dynamic EU. Vote YES to Lisbon.

    Swap Brian Cowen to Taoiseach and Brian Lenihan to Justice and you're probably there or thereabouts

    Good to see Tony Killeen promoted in your book. He has a great shout for a place at cabinet. Two other positions, cheif whip and Cathaoirleach of Ógra (Barry can't be a junior minister as well as chair of Ógra). Any thoughts?

    BTW: to those saying "nothing's certain" or "Enda might still be Taoiseach", relax. This is just a bit of craic. Save these comments for a different thread.

    Enda can very well be Taoiseach but not on these numbers. We'd need another election for that. And no one on this thread mentioned it, just you

    Wouldn't have any interest.
    Surely.
    Would lose all credibility with his electorate. That's not what they elected him for.
    Or would the steady job for the next 10 years tempt him?

    I really think life support should be withheld from the PD's, dump Harney and side kick. What is his name anyway? Greens would be a better option for colition.
