UPDATE:

Fianna Fáil’s counter motion – calling for any Commission of Investigation into the sale of Nama’s Northern Ireland portfolio, Project Eagle, to be postponed until after a criminal investigation into the sale is complete – passed 105 votes to 38.

Gavan Reilly, of Today FM, reports:

[Independent Alliance TD John Halligan] says he’s likely to vote against the government in the Dáil this week.

John Halligan says he will probably support a cross-party motion signed by 39 TDs, calling for the immediate abolition of domestic water charges.

The motion is set to go to a vote in the Dáil tomorrow night – just seven days after Halligan was given a junior ministry at the Department of Jobs.

Sahar Ali, from Dublin, is one of eight finalists in the Philadelphia Creativity for a Cause contest.

She wants to teach English through theatre in Medina, Saudi Arabia and she wants YOUR vote.

Sahar writes:

Hi guys, can you possibly help an Irish expat in Saudi Arabia with a project?

I want to focus on an English club for ladies in the Middle East – where women can learn and socialise, two very important things that many women in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia do not have access to.

Private learning centres are crazy expensive, courses are sparse, trying to meet new people is a nightmare, getting out to meet the ones you already know is almost impossible!

I want to bring English classes, computer classes, book clubs, public speaking classes, new mommy classes, and so much more to Saudi Arabia.

Daniel asks:

It just occurred to me how many of my friends (and myself…) can’t vote in the referendum because we’re not Irish citizens. Polish, English, Lithuanians and everyone else. According to 2011 census over half a million people. Many of which are here for years and planning to stay.

Makes me wonder if it’s time to review the system as well. Particularly for citizens of EU countries which would have no any other reason to get citizenship. Living, working and paying taxes in Ireland for the past 11 years, civil partner to an Irish citizen, and planning on staying here for good, I think I earned my right to vote?
