Most likely we are going to be where we were always going to be… November 24, 2010

So what was the consensus yesterday amongst at least some who might have an insight into these matters?
Cowen would survive the evening. And that being the case the Budget would go forward. And that being the case the Budget would be passed, if not by outright Fine Gael support then some form of acquiescence on the part of that party and – perhaps – the LP. And that being the case the election call that sparked all of this weeks turmoil, was it only Monday morning that this phase of the crisis started, would not be called until… er… February, dependent upon the technicalities of seeing all the legislation, including the Finance Bills, through to safe passage, which would leave us… er… in March.
Which was always more or less the schedule, particularly if the by-elections went ahead and seats were lost.
And so, after all the angst, and yes, the Budget still has to pass – and may not, chances are we wind up where we would have been if nothing out of the ordinary, however we define that these days, had taken place on Monday.
