When will we all have to pledge allegiance to the army council ?

Not sure about that but according to Eoghan Harris the ethnic cleansing will begin in the morning. All Shinners are to assemble in their town square at 9am to get it underway.

No. An FF/FG coalition is what both those parties are effectively saying.

They shouldn't. They should let SF at it and watch them crash and burn. FG should change leader and move right.

Coveney holds all the cards now. He should be the new leader within a month. Should have been the choice on day one.

Coveney would be a likable leader. He's one of the rare FFG's that isn't smug.

Of course he and FG will.

Michael Martin has led his party into an impossible situation. SF know it and FG know it too.

Those two will sit and let him squirm for a while and take the flak from his party internally. And you can be positive sure that is happening.

That’s the first time I’ve ever agreed with you Frankie.

FF have a crisis of identity. What are they? FG can pivot back to the centre-right, SF can do the left wing stuff, and FF???

They are not saying anything apart from FG not dealing with SF.

SF voters are already complaining about the behaviour of SF candidates.

They can't let them at it....they won't have the numbers even with a few other parties

What will he say if his beloved Mickey Martin goes back on his word on coalition with SF? His head will probably explode before he gets the chance to say anything...

Have you ever been outside of Ireland? Because no matter what your reply is to this question, you either haven't, are being completely disingenuous for the craic, or simply lying.

You think Grenfell is the only high-rise out of all European capitals or something?

Sometimes you just have to admit to yourself when you're wrong instead of going full idiotic

I've travelled the entire world. I'd garner I've lived and travelled to more places that you.

I won't be taking any guff from someone who thinks brid Smith is toxic.


Lol.

Sounds like God isn't happy with what we've done, the thunder and lightning had started just waiting on the locusts.

FFG found billions of taxpayer money for a children's hospital that keeps increasing in cost, is in the worst location and a national broadband plan which luckily DOB is involved in, I'm sure SF can't be any worse than that.

They didn't find billions of euros. They took it directly from the health budget. It will be a great hospital once it's up and running but the billions of euro could have been better spent on their existing hospitals.

Fg have been sent a gift if varadkar is gone and Coveney won’t be up to much either. They need to nail it with a replacement. Coveney is weak and will be LV Mark 2. Can you see him up there standing up for workers who have deserted fg ? No , me either. He will be on rte , apologizing for not delivering thousands of 4eva homes overnight for single mother Margaret, the salt of the earth dub and her two “ angles “ Chardonnay and Sauvignon blanc!

That’s the arrogance that has the shinners at the top of the vote. It's all the electorates fault nothing to do with the actions or lack of, of ffg.

Arrogance how. I'm not a member of any political party, I've voted for most of them down the years. It's an observation. Paddy is a bit thick when it comes to this stuff. We're all over the place, left one day, right the next, give us services, no give me all my tax back. You couldnt keep us happy.

Feel it’s a bad day for Ireland but to be fair, the people have spoken. It would be a bad move for FF/FG to go in together now. The people want SF.

Might as well let them in. They won’t achieve even a quarter of the things they’re promising.

Protest votes rarely end well.

Au contraire, it is quite obvious the people want FG/FF.
But they're too committed to looking after 'their own people' to ever water down the goodies for their side.

No logic whatsoever to this claim. They seem to be doing OK, there is a drop in FPVs and as a consequence some second seats will go but not a terrible performance.

See lads if ye two can agree. Surely Martin and Mary Lou will come to a compromise. And I'd imagine.they will have a few self serving independents looing at the chance to prop them up.

And if FG were a democratic party he would have the top job but the fg leadership didn't even respect the wishes of the ordinary fg members when they appointed the great leader. No wonder they are happy to shaft the rest of us.

And FF not dealing with SF. And no confidence and supply.
So the only reasonable option left, and lets face it, its been coming for decades once the civil war generation all died off, is a proper FG FF coalition. As a prelude to a full merger when the conditions are opportune. The terrorists will have to wait out a little more, and similarly, have their true convicted murderers retire from the scene.

Lol.

Knowing when you're wrong, and are able to admit it, is a normal step most people take in early adulthood/late teens. You'll feel a sense of relief when you get to that point of your life.

Suckit

Sinn Fein have a massive overflow in a fair few constituencies.
Waterford and Dublin Bay North around 10,000 each I think.

Well he certainly took the bland centrist line in the leadership election, hard for him to reinvent himself as a right-wing firebrand now...

People don't know what they want but they seem to be clear what they didn't but they could end up with that anyway!

I think there's a lot more to him than Varadkar who spent more time admiring Justin Trudeau than doing what he should be doing. FG need to offer an option for the working person and self employed. If you pay the piper you should call the tune. When those people are looked after everyone's boat will rise.
