    that article doesn't mention he's announcing a departure date (or am I blind?) or did Mike just hear elsewhere that its what he'll use this announcement for?

    We can only hope...
    When I read the RTE link I thought they were being a bit optimistic.

    I'm a bit confused about motions of no confidence but maybe that's another thread.

    Speculation is that he is to announce his departure date. Nothing confirmed as of yet.

    Bazmo, he ain't going to stand on the plinth to announce his lunch choice!

    I just saw it suggested that it could be as few as 10 days.

    I agree, and I do think he will announce it but it hasn't been confirmed yet. Although, it could be something to do with the Tribunal, but I doubt it somehow.

    By who?

    I heard it was to be as little as 2 days, but that was from the secretary here in work but she's a bullsh1tter!
