This afternoon.
Dublin Castle, Dublin 2.
Protestors of different hues demonstrate outside Dublin Castle as, above from left: leader of the Green Party Eamon Ryan, Tanaiste, and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment Leo Varadkar and Taoiseach and Leader of Fianna Fail Micheal Martin attend the new government’s first cabinet meeting inside the gates.

“This is a theft of democracy”
I might need to fire up the old Roflcopter and take a trip round the Lolcano for that one.
More “not my Taoiseach” bolleaux?
Shnners today…

are these protesters from SF Rosette?
Not the point. Anyways. Just having a bit or a larf.
In all honesty lefties in power
They will expect one for every one in the audience
And who pays ?business
Every penny would fly out of the country
…cent…keep up…
The left seems to be driving itself off the cliff these days with it’s identity politics obsession and cancel culture etc. It’s not good for the world, stinks of intolerance and it won’t end well.

The coalition parties both won more than 50% of the vote and the seats in the election. But sure whatever.
yea, they did
but there was a marked divide between how younger (up to around 50 years) and older (50+) voted – and this is a government that represents the older demographic well, but doesnt at all represent what younger people voted for
so, in that respect, it’s not representative
and their programme for government similarly ignores the challenges facing younger people in this country- it’s a government for old people and that’s disappointing
dont expect anything different from FF or FG – they got the old vote and they’re giving them what they wanted
but the greens are betraying their voters
The younger people will be older people some day, what then.
either really angry or living in a different jurisdiction with some regrets I’d imagine Tom
the way things are progressing (not)
Texture like Sun.
…sure did…trouble is…some of the votes that put this coalition in place thought they were specifically voting against it…but sure…as you say…whatever…
is this not true for every coalition?
+1
Ah would ye all grow up ffs
clearly it was always going to be an FF FG coalition,
haven’t they been practising and rehearsing it for years
Like since 2016
GE2020 upset the plan by short changing them by over a dozen TDs, but even if the Greens didn’t come good last Friday, they were still 10+ others ready to barter their Tá votes anyway
In any event, I suggest everyone get back in their boxes,
Direct Provision is now in the remit of a Green Minister
Lets see what they’re all about now
Especially their more active activists with all the talk over the last few weeks
Clearly counting is not their forte.
You elect the parties to make decisions on your behalf. They decided to go into coalition. That’s democracy. Solution: don’t vote for them next time. But I know you will.
i didn’t even vote for them this time.
Gawd. Some people just ain’t busy. Give it up lads.
