"cynically designed to intercept and shut down a prospective motion of no confidence in Tánaiste Simon Harris"
The Motion of Confidence in Tánaiste Simon Harris was upheld by a parliamentary vote of 94 in favour and 65 against, with one abstention by Independent Paul Gogarty. The vote secured continued government backing for Simon Harris and prevented an immediate change in his position. Sinn Féin leader Mary Lou McDonald accused the Government motion of being cynically designed to intercept and shut down a prospective motion of no confidence in Tánaiste Simon Harris. The abstention by Paul Gogarty represented the sole deviation from the vote's two main positions. The outcome maintained the status quo pending any future challenges.
