It’s the waiting that’s the hardest – eh? No result yet…
As entertaining in it’s own way today are some of the contributions we saw on the RTÉ site… Flagged with ‘live updates’ all was okay in the morning until 12.00 when the TDs, MEPs and Senators arrived to do the deed.
At which point it all went quiet. Because, of course, everything was happening inside and nothing was coming out. Well not quite nothing, for one could read at:
13.22 Political Reporter Brian Dowling tells RTÉ Radio’s News at One that there is little information coming from the meeting, but he understands that so far, 20 people have given speeches.
Someone’s texting!
That said there were some gems on the entries prior to that…
11.38 Olywn Enright has said she has not made her mind up on whether or not she will serve on the Fine Gael frontbench if Mr Kenny remains on as leader.
She said that she is still confident that he will lose the confidence vote.
11.28 The Fine Gael MEP Jim Higgins has described as almost fascist like the behaviour of some frontbench members who said they will not serve on the frontbench if Enda Kenny remains on as leader.
10.27 Chairman of the Parliamentary Party Padraig McCormack admitted that in the short term this was damaging for the party but he said they have recovered from worse situations.
You know, I have a genuine sympathy for many members of FG who must wonder at all this. I know I do.
Miriam Lord’s piece today is spot on.
