    Finian McGrath walked last November!

    I'd be slow to give credence to a rumour-mill which is being stirred by people who don't seem to be aware of this basic fact

    I broke the story. I knew McGrath had walked. I have a pretty good idea who it might be. If others stir, it doesn't necessarily make it untrue.

    When I get it confirmed, you'll be the first to know.

    I suspect that it might be a bargaining ploy. If so they will try to keep it under wraps but if I heard it, you can bet that many others have as well.
    Finian McGrath already pulled out, after the last budget.

    I'll regret this because it narrows down the possibilities, but Finian McGrath and Mary Harney were not mentioned.

    The person I think it is has alreay been mentioned but so has another. On reflection I think it might be the other person as it would be in the style of either or to do something like this.

    Finian McGrath doesn't count as he's already withdrawn his support.

    Quite frankly does anyone here give a toss about 2 self serving twits who would bring nothing to the opposition.

    I thought Lowery would have pulled after the emergency budget. I honestly don't know why he is supporting them , it's not like Tipp is getting anything extra.

    Ok I'll try list the indo's:
    Harney - no
    Grealish - hmm maybe??
    Lowery - my bet.
    Healy Rae - maybe, but just for a publicity stunt.

    That's all that I can think off.

    perhaps the release of that top secret document to the tribunal sorted out any doubts he might have

    Independent threatening to withdraw support
    Is it The Sunday Independent? Now that would worry them.
