Sheer hubris from Simon Harris and Micheál Martin in that press conference.
Pure arrogance to talk about constitutional subversion and constitutional mandate.
The problem with FF and FG is that they think the Government IS the constitution.
It is not.

I like that idea. It’s not enough to simply elect a new government. Keeping track elected TD’s doings is best achieved through a collective effort

The government in waiting and Ceann Comhairle have shown complete disrespect to the separation of powers and the concept of a constitutional opposition.
Opposition TDs are quite right to protest the Ceann Comhairle's attempts to mask a political decision in legal advice. #Dail34

Micheál Martin and Simon Harris today lead a new government on the back of an opaque deal with “profoundly corrupt” Michael #Lowry. This does not serve the Irish people and does not serve democracy. My column #Dáil34 #Dáil #Ireland www.e-pages.dk/irishindepen...
Leinster House appears swamp-like as the government leaders embrace Lowry
And so today we have a new government, a nod-and-wink coalition engineered by Michael Lowry.
Let's all bow down before the wily deal-maker. On second thoughts, perhaps not...

“They just thought that their arrogance would see them through. What they faced was a united opposition that said: ‘We are not going to deny our voters the opportunities to hold the government to account on the really important issues that effect their lives’”

The 34th Dáil's programme for government includes a number of road safety initiatives.
Will they be enough to address the deteriorating behaviour on Ireland's roads? Is this tweaking a broken system? What more can we be doing to reduce deaths and serious injuries on our roads?
