Sinn Féin President May Lou McDonald addressing the Dáil this afternoon

This afternoon

Via Irish Examiner:

Left-wing TDs have said they plan to vote for Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald for Taoiseach on the basis that she will not go into government with either Fine Gael or Fianna Fail.

The Dail vote for Taoiseach is set to take place this afternoon but is not expected to produce a conclusive result.

Solidarity-People Before Profit TDs told reporters today that they would back Ms McDonald for Taoiseach, a move which is expected to put her ahead of her rivals for the role.

But without the support of the 80 TDs needed for a government, no Taoiseach or government will be decided and the Dail is expected to be adjourned as parties continue to negotiate on forming a new coalition.

    Any chance we could have a few shots of the D4 boys now that they have had their bottom handed to them?

    Is that Michele Oneill sat next to Dessie ellis”?

    If so why is an unelected TD sat in our dail as a vote is cast to pick our new prime minister on our benches?

      If you use terms like ‘prime minister’ then I am all up for Conor Murphy being front and center of SF but especially a very vocal Breege Quinn in the senate.
