Mary Regan: Scribbled notes were first the Government knew of Michael Healy-Rae's intention to walk
"A Fianna Fáil backbencher was sitting behind Michael Healy-Rae in the Dáil chamber yesterday afternoon as the Kerry TD prepared his speaking notes for a confidence motion in the Government."
"Peering over Mr Healy-Rae's shoulder, the backbencher observed the critical line in blue writing among the scribbles: 'I will be voting no confidence in the leader of the country.'"
The Coalition government managed to survive a no-confidence motion, indicating some level of support. However, its stability is precarious as it is now heavily influenced by global events. A notable moment occurred in the Dáil chamber when a Fianna Fáil backbencher observed a critical note from Michael Healy-Rae, revealing intentions to vote no confidence in the government leader. This highlights internal dissent and the fragile nature of the Coalition's position amidst external pressures.
