He'll give at least eight junior ministers to the west.

I don't think anyone has ever advocated for every county having a minister. As you say, there simply isn't enough to go around. An entire region of the country not having any representation in the cabinet is an entirely different matter. On a different note, Enda did f**k all for Mayo but we can't really complain, we kept voting for him.

Could easily make the argument that West and Midlands have been over represented in the last number of governments with zero capital spending in Dublin on public transport when projects like the m18, rural broadband etc have been delivered or timetabled. The only major capital spend in Dublin ongoing is the children's hospital, which is a national project of equal benefit to all. Which would naturally be the case given FGs dependence on rural votes. Proper city planning, including the regional cities is where money needs to be focused but with fg/ff calling the shots and their brilliant ability to side with nimby interests (see luas green line upgrade to metro) not much will change.

Rumblings not just in Mayo but in the north about the failure to appoint a northerner to the Seanad, a tradition which more often than not has resulted in a unionist voice in that body. So much for a ' shared island ', aka united Ireland. The Cabinet carve-up was bad enough ( three Ministers from Cork South Central indeed ) but the Seanad was worse and appointing the likes of Regina Doherty as leader is a joke in bad taste. The game is obviously to give certain losers and nonentities a profile with a view to them regaining their Dáil seats at the next election. Good luck with that one. Will Micheal Martin go down in history as the shortest serving Taoiseach of all time ? We shall see.

The angry noisy lefties cleaned up every seat going in my constituency at the election. Obviously none of them are in government, let alone have a seal of office. So it's unlikely local issues will get any attention let alone action, during the length of this Dail. But they will still do what they do best. Howl at the moon. I can't see the Dail lasting close to 2.5 years, and the manifesto is not worth the beer mat it was written on, so there'll be plenty of stuff for them to howl about. I'm not a FF voter, however, at least I can watch and listen to what our Taoiseach has to say again for the first time in 3 years. He may not be the next Bertie, but he's a normal man with a traditional family, not some vain incompetent weirdo showing his socks off to other world leaders and sunbathing in the PP. Ireland is back to normal.

This government won't last 5 years. FF TDs already losing confidence in the Taoiseach over not being made a minister.

not very into the mechanics of politics but what’s up with a lot of sh*t coming out against FF in media? Stuff that happened years ago but only comes out when they in power? Media waiting on a story against the part in power? FG trying to play both sides? Coincidence? Other parties trying to keep FF from regaining their ground?

I don't get the circus against Barry Cowan either. Done for drink driving 4 years ago while on a provisional when he was barely over the limit (was it a zero limit for provisional's back then?, could have been from the night before), admitted it was very stupid and apologised. Then a new story that he got done for speeding, who cares.
