'General secretary of the secondary teachers' union ASTI, John White, said unions have become “entirely alienated” from the Government ..'
+1 - drunk with power springs to mind!.. and reality
There's 81 deputies in leinster house who can continue as a democratically elected government for the next 2.5 years if they so wish, and there's nothing the unions can do about that.
don't think it matters who gets in, they would all of done the same last week.
There is a requirment under the constitution of ireland that there is at least one TD for every 20,000 - 30,000 people in the country so therefore a minimum of 141 TD's required for the Dáil to function.
If "someone" manages or convinces a number of TDs to resign in protest at the current Government, then By-Elections or best/worst case scenario a General Election must be called.
Can't believe it is actually a bank union leader that came out with this as well after this Government saved the system and all his members jobs.
I'm sure a sufficient number of bye-elections would be called immediately in the event of protest resignations reducing the number of TDs to that level
I would welcome a coup for many reasons.
impending DNA Database and far too much government
interference, corruption. Ireland is very far from free.
Not to mention the fact the government has destroyed Ireland and its future.
However, I certainly would not back a Union led coup.
They're worse.
Since we still have it as an offence on the statutes then it is time to jail the union leaders for sedition.
I would barely be able to contain my glee if this were to be the case.
