Independent threatening to withdraw support. Unconfirmed.

[meriwether2]

Other independents now know that the government's bargaining position is extremely weak. They will deny any deal was done, otherwise floodgates will open.

Story might emerge in next couple of days.

I asked Celtic Bookmakers on odds of Biffo making it to the end of the year, Enda being Taoiseach and a leadership challenge within FF before the end of the year. They have not replied, and that's after two weeks.

Thats probably because they're a bit sh1t if the odds aren't bought from Stan James, or out of the post.
Try Bruces.

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!

I don't think it's happened yet has it? Last time i checked Dail.ie Roisin Shortall was still waffling & it said the debate was due to be concluded at midnight. The chamber was practically empty.

Healy Ray will follow.

Is this true about Lowry? I thought Tip didn't care about his fiddles.

It's the Social Welfare Bill, which includes the halving dole and cancelling Christmas motions. All the FF lot were hauled back from their European tours to vote.

It's Finian Mcgarth again.

This berk has lost all credibility at this stage. He tries to play both sides of the court wrt his association with FF. He's a sell-out and is finding the reception he's getting on the ground in his constituency pretty rough by all accounts.

He'll huff and he'll puff but he'll be out of breath when it comes to doing the necessary.

He's the worst of the whole lot of them in my book.

The cancelling Christmas motion was last week. How's it looking to go?
