Fine Gael leadership contender Simon Coveney launches his ‘policy priorities’ in the Dean Hotel, Dublin yesterday
Though he knows that he won’t take first place
Old Simon has stayed in the race
He’s accepted his fate
To hang on and wait
Until Leo has egg on his face.

at
Dáil Éireann yesterday
Yesterday.
The Dáil voted in support of a Labour Party motion to postpone the sale of AIB shares.
But.
The Government is reportedly going ahead with it anyway.
In today’s Irish Times, Pat Leahy and Joe Brennan report:
The Department of Finance moved yesterday evening to play down the impact of the passing of the Labour Party Private Members’ motion proposing to delay the AIB share sale until European Union fiscal rules are relaxed.
During a Dáil vote, nobody on the Government side indicated their preference and the motion was deemed to have passed. Opposition TDs believed that Government TDs were distracted by the internal party leadership challenge.
“Private Members’ motions are not legally binding on the Government,” the department said in a statement. “The Government position remains unchanged. The programme for partnership government clearly allows the Minister to sell up to 25 per cent of Allied Irish Banks up to the end of 2018.”
