    Didn`t BIFFO reduce the number of Ministers of State by 3 previously.

    He can now just increase the number by 1.

    Greens sorted. Election 2012.

    Goodbye Greens.

    "You have two choices, Brian - we rotate the Taoiseach-ship or you can have an election". It'd be an interesting dilemma.
    No it wouldn't. Dermot, brian and micheal would guide him.

    Cowen should offer to create a 16th Junior Ministry. The Greens would have to reject it.

    Sure, why not? Now that he has just reversed the party's policy on fluoridation so that the Greens are cool with it...
    15 Jan 2001 -- Fine Gael pledged to end fluoridation because of "serious health concerns".

    Is all this talk of rotation just more spin?

    (or did someone make that joke already?)
