Green Party TD Neasa Hourigan has already indicated she will vote with Sinn Féin against the Coalition - a move that would most likely see her lose the party whip once again, at the very least., if Hourigan is suspended it would bring the Government’s numbers down to 80, leaving it with an official majority of just one TD.
