Irish General Election called after Greens pull out

Plasticpaddy. This system does not seem to accept the links. You need SI 272/273 of 1996 from the Attorney Generals website and wikipedia Amendments to the Irish Constitution. Amendment No 16. Hopefully it accepts this.

Loyalcitizen can you provide a link to this introducing opinions into Irish law that you keep mentioning? Would be interested in trying to understand what you mean!

I am not certain but Ireland may already be under new management judging by the Black and Tan way the Gards are acting. Is there anyone who can curb their flailing ways, its almost like they have been told their pay is cut already..

If the Greens are waiting until the budget is passed, there will be no election. There must be a finance bill in March to implement the budget. The Greens' "promise" is in order to ensure that the budget and thus austerity is implemented.

its about time - hope they are well intended unlike Dev's and the other zero parties.

At long last the Greens have grown balls. One of our Independent Ministers is holding out and won't give an opinion in the hope that he will get everything he was promised by the present Government. Now that the IMF are in maybe they will clean up all the top heavy Departments and get rid of cronyism which seems to be the mainstay of the Fianna Fail Party. Hopefully the new lot will be able to build on that and make it a much more decent country to live in.

Irish Politicians with support from the judicial systems have been falsifying the Irish Voting System for years. In particular they introduced into Irish Law the use of opinions. There is now better way to commit any form of white collar crime than using opinions to hide the details. The Irish People somehow have better find a way of policing the voting system in the hope of getter the traitors out of office.

Great. Now we can really kill Ireland off for good.
