    Very doubtful.

    I reckon it will either be Monday morning or it will wait until Friday. McAleese is going on a visit to Turkey from Monday evening until Friday lunchtime.

    It is possible for there to be a reshuffle making use of the Presidential Commission, who under the Constitution carry out the functions of the President if s/he is incapacitated either medically or out of the country. However, it would seem a little extreme for the sake of a couple of days.

    Therefore, Monday or Friday would seem more likely.

    Going to be a busy run up to Easter. Reshuffle; Anglo results, Lenihan speech on bank recap, FG conference in Killarney; Ombudsman's report on Lost at Sea, Church scandals rumble on....and the ministers with bad heads on them after the holiday.
    Any word on Conor Lenihan? He had a good time in Vietnam according to the Irish Mail

    There's more procrastination in this government than in bloody Hamlet. And we all remember how Hamlet ended don't we?

    I'd better clarify quickly that there was a front page report in the Irish Mail on Thursday(with Exclusive banner) that Conor had encouraged people to avail of the bar facilities at the 300 guest banquet in Vietnam saying something like ' The ambassador has assured me that we our budget is quite adequate'
    I'm not implying that Conor himself was imbibing.
