LEO VARADKAR AND Micheál Martin have agreed to meet for exploratory talks early next week.
Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald yesterday received the most votes to become the next Taoiseach – 45 – however, this was well short of the required majority of 80. When asked by TheJournal.ie earlier this week if there will be a grand coalition between Fine Gael and with Fianna Fáil, Varadkar said: “I really just don’t see that happening.”In yesterday’s bid to elect a new Taoiseach, McDonald received 45 votes, with her own party of 37 voting for her, as well as the five members of Solidarity-People Before Profit, Joan Collins from Independents 4 Change, and independent TD Thomas Pringle.
Green Party leader Eamon Ryan received 12 votes in favour of him as Taoiseach, with 115 votes against and 28 TDs abstaining. Martin stated on Wednesday that for “many reasons” Fianna Fáil forming a coalition with Sinn Féin “would not be the right thing to do”, saying he had written to McDonald to explain that decision.
If these Pair of Gangsters get in government. I'll start a rebellion or Riot
If George 'R[espec]T' Galloway MP considers FF and FG: 'Two cheeks of the same backside!' (See his uploaded YouTube podcast re SF Shock), should their dual butty cheek seats in Dail Eireann not be halved?
If they do go into government again, the public will have them calling an election by the end of the year and sinn fein and the other left parties will have all that time to educate people on how hard they worked to keep them out against our will. They'll do worse next election.
Leo is just winding up those old men in ff
Hell will freeze over
FF and FG need new leaders
You wonder after five years in power together what exploratory talks they need to do
80%of the electorate voted for FineGael to NOT be in govt. isn’t it time the people were listened to?
FineGael fiannafailparty
Slippery bunch
The contempt both FF & FG are showing the people of this country is sickening!!!!
WE NEED CHANGE NOT MORE OF THE SAME .
Got to give to SF they are streets ahead on the social media front.
The pantomime continues
Insignificant little man will move on to his high paying job in the EU and continue to do nothing for anyone but himself
Was it ever in doubt , ffs.
Leo and Micheal meet up. Conversation goes, Jees Mick what are we going to do about these Sinn Feiners? Feck I don't know Leo, what do you think. Feck I don't know, sure it was your turn anyway! We can meet next month and check in, just keep the O'Cuiv boyo under control!
Two dickheads
LynneCampbell5 ✌️ GOD IS A BUDHIST,
Nice one about time they got their heads together
No and No. This Country does not need any more of either of their personal or partys’ self-serving nonsense. 👎🏻👎🏻
That's it so with the Greens. That's the way it was always going to be. 5years of Power, Greed and Corruption.
As news spread throughout the land the revelation surprised and excited no one.
Any thing to keep Mary out
If FF supported FG's little known naming/shaming of people on welfare by rubber stamping stalking/blackguarding by seconded welfare cops in public places (incl churches!), why are they pretending to have a different political economy?
Who's top and who's bottom?
Fg and ff successfully undermining democracy in Ireland for the past 90 years
Amazing ... why the left fail to co-operate is amazing. SF L SD Sdpbp 54 seats then the G 66 seats like minded inds 74 seats so then add in the 6 balance Ind TDs ( Tipp/Kerry etc ) job done. Or go with 74 and see how it goes ... stop blaming the other parties
Omg they should both be in jail for crimes against humanity
Sure what is there to explore they have been in power for the last 4 years together
They were humiliated in the elections they were humiliated last night and they are coming back for more. We don't want them they have taken enough from us and our country. We won't put up with them anymore. MaryLouMcDonald for Taoiseach.
No way are we accepting again what happened for the last 4 disgraceful years! Current Crises will get even worse! This is not political, this is personal!
43% between them. 57% dont want this
What a joke people voted for change.leo & Michael want to keep their greedy & corrupt hands on power at any cost.
Besties
EricaPerris fucking mess
Sinn fein got 100% of the vote and 900 TDs elected so why are the 'establishment ' stopping them from forming a government
Clinging on, quite embarrassing really.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 confidence and supply
But it's not what the noisy and entitled minority want.
To explore how to beat to serve themselves...
There should be no exploratory talks the people of Ireland don't want FG sure even the TDS in the Dáil don't even want him, just look at the figures from yesterday says it all
They're trying to set me up for the fall If I move forward like this we die as a people, a soon as I'm out of the way. The Republic dies as a country They're planning a real attack
