Today Pat and I have a chat about the state of the coalition in the Free State, aka the Republic of Ireland, aka Ireland. Fianna Fáil and the Greens seem to be coming apart at the seams – Fianna Fáil has already sacked one of its ministers, the leader of the Green Party has survived an election by the skin of his teeth, and their Chief Whip is voting contrary to the rest of the Green Party TDs. Then there’s Fianna Fail and its republicanism, which is TOTALLY different from the Sinn Féin version, even though Micheál Martin’s father, from whom he says he got his republicanism, signed publicly his support for the Hunger Strikers back in the 1980s.
Then there’s Donald Trump, who has mused about postponing the coming presidential election. Nothing to do with his poll ratings or his handling of Covid 19 of course…
