Id say SF amount of lawsuits is annoying many voters,

Doubt most people give a shit who sues who tbh. I think people just don't see SF as change anymore.
Their rhetoric over the last while does not suggest they will be any different to the absolute farce we have running the show at the moment.
They have been pretty shit in opposition tbf. The government not making any gains of note on the losses from SF either.

Failing SF is conceding ground to the government. There would appear to be an opportunity for a new political movement

Watch out for move, it can't be long now before some right wing speak will result in a gathering of like minded politicians.

What say you on your FF backbenchers calling for the Minister for Justice to step down jimmy?

Or are you and your pals more interested in SF

Main opposition party losing support against a government months away from an election doesn’t look good.

Maybe they’ll try a new leader before the election. But who?

That will entirely be at the discretion of the Army Council

Have SF ever won a motion of no confidence in the government vote ?

Not sure any opposition party has ever won "no confidence in the government" votes in the 100+ year history of the Dail

That has never stopped those parties putting them though

Why do you ask?

Last no confidence motion to succeed was back in 1992 when Albert Reynolds government lost the vote, leading to general election that year.

Was that the one where there were allegations of priest Brendan Smyth (child abuser) not being extradited by someone in Opus Dei?

I thought Frances Fitzgerald lost a no confidence vote as Justice minister recently. Come to think of it, she prob jumped before the vote was called. Rats deserting a ship and all that…

No - that was two years later and never got to a motion as government collapsed when Labour left the coalition and Reynolds resigned.
