    If Ivor Callely goes who will replace him.

    I think we can all agree that Minister of State Ivor Callely should either be sacked or should resign after his recent problems. Anyone got any opinions on this and who would most likely succeed him.

    Brylcream Kelleher would appear to be most likely.

    Do you not think that he would be replaced by a Dublin T.D??

    Probably about half the Junior Ministers should be dropped, starting with Callely and Conor Lenihan. It's incredible that people with talent such as Pat Carey and Sean Ardagh remain on the backbenches

    Last night's Primetime Investigates has presented him with another major challenge.

    I hope he has the 'balls' to go after the cartels etc.

    If he does, he might just redeem himself.

    I certainly do not agree. Callely hasn’t done anything wrong; he’s being hounded by sinister elements in his department and a hostile media.

    And he's a tool. Don't forget he is a tool.

    He is dreadful for the image of Fianna Fail. Image is cruicail. He has to go.

    He may well be a tool but he hasn't done anything wrong.

    And what has he done right? Being a tool should automatically disqualify from public office.
