    Coalition Tension

    Coalition Tension

    “Rift”, “tensions” and “bitter split” were just some of the descriptions in the press over the weekend of the budget negotiations between Fine Gael and Labour. We were told that an increase in the USC for those earning over 100,000 was a red line issue for Fine Gael who saw it as a breach of their promise not to increase income tax rates, while Labour were set to be vehemently opposed to any cut in weekly social welfare payments.

    Fianna Fail and opposition

    Fianna Fail and opposition

    Given the ongoing economic crisis and the level of cutbacks and tax hikes which the government is imposing - it’s probably not that surprising that we’re seeing a fall-off in support for the two governing parties in many recent opinion polls. Up until last Sunday’s Millward Brown poll for the Sunday Independent, Fianna Fail looked to be the major beneficiary with the party taking number one spot in two polls carried out since the beginning of the year.

    Taoiseach in the USA

    Taoiseach in the USA

    The St. Patrick’s Day festivities may be winding down on this side of the Atlantic but in keeping with tradition, Taoiseach Enda Kenny and Tanaiste Eamon Gilmore will present President Barack Obama with a bowl of shamrock at the white house later today. Yesterday, Mr. Kenny faced questions on the fallout from the controversy over the once off bank levy in Cyprus with the Taoiseach stressing that Cyprus is a “unique case” and that there is no threat to deposits here in Ireland. It’s reported this morning in the Irish Independent that government officials are playing down the prospect of ...

    Meath East Bye-Election Fallout

    Meath East Bye-Election Fallout

    So what is the biggest story arising from yesterday’s by-election in Meath East? The fact that a government candidate took the seat in the midst of the toughest austerity drive in the history of the state? The fact that a party lambasted in the last general election has made a dramatic fight back? Or is it the fact that the junior party in government dropped their vote by over three quarters in two years? Myles was joined in studio by former Labour Party National organiser, Pat Magner; barrister Noel Whelan and Fionnan Sheahan of the Irish Independent.

    Water Charges

    Water Charges

    The Tanaiste and Minister for Foreign Affairs Eamon Gilmore has indicated that water charges will be postponed – days after Environment Minister Phil Hogan said the charges would be implemented from January 1st The Tanaiste’s view on water charges is distinctly at odds with what Minister Hogan said last week, suggesting that’s he’s taking the views of Labour grass roots on board. Pat was joined by Fionnan Sheahan.
