While Donald Trump prepares to announce swingeing tariffs, the lower house maintains its focus on parliamentary procedure
Social Democrats deputy leader Cian O'Callaghan, Green Party leader Roderic O'Gorman, leader of Solidarity-People Before Profit Richard Boyd Barrett, Sinn Fein leader Mary Lou McDonald, Labour leader Ivana Bacik and Independent Ireland leader Michael Collins outside Government Buildings, Dublin, speaking to the media where they said they do not have confidence in the Ceann Comhairle Verona Murphy.
But once the vote of confidence in Murphy is confirmed, the leaders of the different Opposition parties will need to determine the best course of action for each of them. This controversy has united parties across a broad ideological spectrum, from Independent Ireland to People Before Profit. They will have very disparate positions on many of the key issues on the upcoming political agenda.
The overall tone has already been set. This Dáil will be more polarised and more confrontational than the last. It remains unclear who benefits most from that reality, and whether the public loses patience at a moment of growing economic uncertainty.
