FF - 37 seats
FG - 35 seats

Doesn't that leave 88 seats (or 87 less the CC?)

SF - 37
Greens - 12
LAB - 6
SD - 6
S/PBP - 5
I4C - 1
And 13/19 inedependents.......

.......job done. SF don't need FF or FG

The key problem is she doesnt want to be Taoiseach of course

It's definitely looking that way - SF just want to put on a show about trying to get into government (and they definitely seem not to want to lead a government) which is why they're pursuing FF and/or FG knowing full well they'll get nothing from them.

Easy enough get the 19 independents on board - just ask them to name their price. That pretty much gets you there without Labour.

Christ that was some bag of crap speech. Does Paddy Geoghegan think he could get an oscar? He has had enough attempts.
No need for all the BS wind and the reference to the GFA was just painful coming from Leo, as he doesn't seem to believe it.
It is a 3 week extension, we get it. Next time leave out the Seamus Heaney references, the tiresome 'on this day in another lifetime' tripe.
Hopefully he'll be gone soon. He is the most tedious part of this.

No public appearances since then, no personal tweets other than re-tweets and same goes for all other social media too.

Also Ivan Yates on Newstalk has queried why Pearse Doherty has been attending the Leaders' Briefings in Leinster House. Why isn't Mary Lou attending?

It is very odd that we haven't heard a peep out of her since the start of the month and nothing from SF about her condition or wishing her well or anything either.

Obviously if she has Covid 19 everyone would wish her a speedy recovery.

Hope it stays fine for you and your family and you don't believe in karma.

It's allright. Luuweeeaz is doing a grand job in her place

What illness is she dealing with?
All we know is that she was feeling 'under the weather' 10 days ago. And then radio silence from her and from SF.

Shinners are not allowed to be unwell now either without it being some conspiracy?

Simon and Eoghan disappeared for an election campaign, oh and Charlie Flanagan too and there wasn't a word.
Coveney was off the scene for a couple weeks too.

As much and all a dose as she is, I wouldn't criticise any parent for putting their health and their kids' health first.

If she's decided to prioritise her own and her family's health, then fair play to her.

I don't think she deserves adverse comment for that any more than Johnson does - he's a d1ckhead and I hope his career ends in abject failure, but he still has kids and is an expectant father, so I'd wish him well in his health.......as I would McDonald.

Charlie was disappeared for the election campaign, locked in a room with a bag on his head.

All we've established here is that you don't know what 'conspiracy' means.

Odd though that the usual SF apologists appear to have no interest at all in where their party leader is.

Shinnerbots never question their leadership. Even when she made a monumental mess of the negotiations after the election. - Remember? the election they 'won'?

Sinn Fein have destroyed 6 counties while the other 26 have thrived by keeping them out. What kind of idiot would want them in government?

Indeed homeless figures at levels not seen simce famine times...is quite the endorsement for present government


What was it,increased 800% under FG in a decade.....a month of SF/PBP proposals in relation to rental market...near wiped out

A simple solution,that isnt implmented long term,seems like policy.....why is FG policy to promote homelessness?

Indeed seems shinnners were right all along about air bnb and government turning a blind eye to it

Why did it take a pandemic for FG to take finger out and ban eveictions or any basic reforms??


Trolley figures are likely down to people not being transferred from old folks home....iirc 70% of trolly patients were over 70

Nowhere have i said this....but many air bnbs are being snapped up on long term leases (have few matez who have).....and this frees up more rental properties

You better tell Mary Loo. She has disappeared since the start of it. Great leadership right there.

Haven't the opposition been saying that trolley numbers could be fixed for donkeys now?

What do you think 'fixed' them? Would it have anything to do with senior management and the government getting the finger out and sorting it ahead of a crisis, that would have caused many more deaths had they not gotten off their posteriors?

She hasn't but don't let that stop you exaggerating. She is gone just about the same amount of time Coveney took time off for.

Well what else happened?

Jesus came in and did a few miracles as a nixer?

The trolley crisis is a logistical and resources one and always was. Properly resource the system and people it with competent managers doing their jobs and it works.

As the opposition has been saying for years.
