[Baron von Biffo]

First Item. Shatter apologised and was admitted to the Dail.

 

[Baron von Biffo]

Kenny referring to the Greens as Cowens "Absent friends."

 

[toxic avenger]

Kenny needs to learn not to use 100 words when 10 will suffice.

 

[Nipper]

Has Kenny called ff bluff on urgency of budget?

 

[Baron von Biffo]

Cowen is effectively admitting that the budget is running to a timetable ordained by Olli Rehn.

 

[corelli]

First Item. Shatter apologised and was admitted to the Dail.

So as to be there for a possible no confidence vote?

 

[hiding behind a poster]

Cowen drowning here - Kenny was at least constructive, and Cowen, rather than responding to that, just resorts to a load of semantics to try and defend his party's misleading of the people last week. His lack of even the most basic political cop-on is astounding.

 

[Baron von Biffo]

He's continuing to standing over the blatant dishonesty about the IMF talks last week.

 

[Bi ciuin]

Wow times must be tough

Scary Mary looks like her hair has been dragged through a field.

 

[Baron von Biffo]

So as to be there for a possible no confidence vote?

Far be it for me to question the sincerity of the deputy's contrition but that would certainly be a serendipitous consequence.

 

[Boy M5]

Inda lives!

 

[hiding behind a poster]

Kenny is skewering him here.

 

[Lord Wellington]

Kenny offered to facilitate the House sitting to enable the budget passed.

No response from Cowen.

 

[Lord Wellington]

Kenny.

Don't know where your absent Green friends are.

Maybe they've been sacked.

 

[hiding behind a poster]

Kenny offered to facilitate the House sitting to enable the budget passed.

No response from Cowen.

And he's just done it a second time.

 

[Baron von Biffo]

Why is Kenny harping on about tweaking the budget date?

 

[bándearg]

Good performance by Kenny. Very reasonable and sensible offer.

 

[corelli]

Kenny has caught him on the hop.

Budget next week, an offer to sit for two solid weeks thereafter and have it all done in the next three weeks.

 

[Gimpanzee]

Kenny doing uncharacteristically well.

 

[Lord Wellington]

Kenny is virtually offering to pass a reasonable budget.

Fianna Fail don't have one. That's the problem.
