Title: abandon ship
Post by: john m on June 25, 2020, 07:58:23 am
Minister for Finance Paschal Donohoe is expected to put himself forward as a candidate for the presidency of the Eurogroup, the influential club of finance ministers of countries that use the euro.

The Minister will be forced to show his hand because the deadline for candidacies is on Thursday, which makes for awkward timing because parties do not conclude voting on the programme for government until Friday.

“It’s tricky for him. It’s a gamble,” said one EU official. “But if he runs, he would be a serious candidate.”

Didn't he used to be a money man/fiinancier type in London before he went into politics?  He'll know how many millions are really in a billion and how to spend his expenses on long lunches etc.

I think you have to be the finance minister in order to be president of the finance ministers, not sure Paschal is sure of remaining in that job, might be the shortest term ever if it is a requirement

FG will hold Finance and Foreign affairs.


Not a chance unless they Split Finance like they did with Howlin .Here is my thinking Greens vote no .Leo is proposed Saturday as Caretaker Taoiseach He takes over as Minister From Ross ,Humphries and Zapone .So no new ministers to be approved by the Dail .He nominates his 11 Senators so the offences against the State act can be passed then the Dail goes on their Summer Holidays and during the Holiday they try to form another Government If not another election .FF wont give awat the Money Departments to the Junior make weights .FF take Housing ,Finance .Give FG Social welfare and Foreign affairs let them cut the Covid Coin and deal with the Brexit Nightmare .If there is any deal .

no we did not say DFA covney was a certainty to keep that poison chalice as the Brits are going to kick the shit out of him .I am surprised FF did not take finance must mean we are broke so no money to hand out to their pet causes and friends .
