    As it says - now Berties gone will Cullen survive at the cabinet table? I for one hope he's finished - and I have heard it suggested that Cowen isn't a Cullen fan :)

    That said, the realpolitik is up til now Cullen was probably kept primarily because of geographical considerations - there's no other FF TD from the Waterford/ SE constituencies :(

    So is Cullen going to be culled from the cabinet - or will geographical political considerations once again save this gobsh!tes bacon?

    A long overdue relegation to the backbenches. They might give him party whip or make up a junior minister role like they did for Dick Roche and Trevor Sargent.

    Hopefully he'll get the boot. He's had enough cock ups at this stage.
