From RTE – Verona Murphy stated in an email to the committee that there is significant ambiguity in the wording of the standing orders and she will seek senior counsel advice on this matter before coming to an impartial final decision.
So much for the iron clad legal advice she didn’t want to share.

This all could have been avoided, but it’s worrying how they tried to barge this sort of shite through. A genuine attempt to infringe on the voice of an opposition is not something you want from a government.

Peadar Tóibín’s announcement yesterday evening that he and his sister (I think) had left the technical group which includes the government-supporting TDs suggested this was going to happen. Good day for democracy.

Fantastic, we need a government to help deal with the cleanup operation required after the few storms we will be getting over the next week.

Have to hand it to Lowry-FFG…they managed to unite the opposition as a single bloc even before there was a government to be in opposition to.

Demonstrates how a united opposition can be effective in holding the government to account.
Hopefully this inspires opposition parties to work together during the lifetime of this government rather than fighting among themselves, although I think we all know that is not going to happen.

A welcome return to sanity. Although it is very worrying that the government tried to allow some of their members speak during opposition allocated time in the first place.

So, the opposition united as one and were correct to do so, opposing a government that hadn’t even officially been formed yet.
Will Newstalk report this innan honest way, or will they continue to boot lick FFG and attack SF?
