    It might be Noel Grealish, maybe an attempt to raise his profile a bit.

    It was a green Minister who released the info. If I were Micky, I would be pretty p*ssed that it took 10 years and it was a green minister who finally said he had done nothing wrong (at least within the remit of the Tribunal)

    Strange - Most firms are

    Election 2009 is 8/13
    Kenny Taoiseach - evens
    Brian Cowen No confidence vote - 2-1

    Not rocket science - Celtic bookmakers must be quiet. Little money going on any of it btw. Was expecting more after second Budget but seems to be little reaction.

    We need to be very wary of rumours & spin

    These were quite likely spread by someone looking to gain

    And so long as they remain anonymous they won't lose

    It wasentioned on the thread about Ministers being called back to vote that the bye-election writs and a tricky Social Welfare bill are being voted on tonight.

    News reports on the matter note that Lowry missed the last Social Welfare vote (which the Government only passed by 3) because he was "unavoidably absent", attending the Tribunal...

    Confirmation?

    Well if the Independants voted for the social welfare bill...which was passed..it must be speculation...however if they didn't then maybe...can't find the vote on the web...will have to wait till tomorrow!
