Odds on it will be postponed until after the government is formed.Quote:

If they don't know by now who they're dealing with...Quote:

FF would need PDs plus 4 from 5 Independents. How long before Flynn declared bankrupt? Independents could withdraw their support at any time so chances of 5 years to next election appear slim..?
I think Bertie is virtually untouchable now. Seems with no mud will stick.
Correct.
If something dodgy comes out of the tribunals, he'll be okay.
If his buddys sorted him out with a house or just cash or whatever, he'll be grand, even if it turns out they were looked after themselves.
It would have to be an actual real brown envelope bribe and i think generally, that's not the way coruption works.
At this stage, I reckon his popularity would go up if he was caught robbing pension money of grannies outside Drumcondra post office.Quote:
