Looks like SF tactic today is to shout as long as they can so a government can’t be formed

Tbf it’s a complete farce that TD’s who openly plan to support the government for its duration also want to officially be part of the opposition.

Verona Murphy is a joke and the opposition aren’t wrong, I understand their disruptiveness due to the nonsense the government are pulling with the both sides of the fence nonsense they granted their independents.

TBF it’s a complete joke to allow independent TDs prop up the government from the opposition bench. Something needs to be done about that.

I’m not sure the look of Paul Murphy repeatedly shrieking over a woman on her first day in the job is the look he wanted.

Our political system is dysfunctional and this just proves it.

Can someone explain this to me like I’m 5. So from what I’m understanding, Independents who are helping FF/FG fill the government also want speaking rights as opposition? So would this effectively serve to dampen the true opposition voices such as SF, SD and PBP?

Verona Murphy was already a joke of a choice for Ceamn Comhairle and she’s immediately lost the confidence of the Dáil. She can hardly continue on.

Great start to the new government…
We won’t make it far at this rate and FFG will come out of this with a lot of mud on their faces

So is the issue kind of along the lines that previous Independents that have supported a Gov haven’t been so blatant about their stance and definitive about supporting them to get in, as in they haven’t engaged so much in formation / PfG talks?
For day one, this seems like such a silly hill for the Gov to “die on” – like none of them would entertain it in opposition, it seems so blatantly wrong and starts off in bad faith. Having your cake and eating it.
