It wasn't looking good at Punchestown for followers but in the last 2 races we have bagged a 16/1 winner as well as 15/2 and 40/1 places.. hopefully everyone kept the faith and backed them!

@PremierviewPod There’s no way Tipp will start today without changes. That’s for certain.
English
This is fascinating if you take it at face value. Take Cavan-Monaghan for example.
Sitting TDs are 2 x SF, 2 x FF and 1 x FG
On these numbers, FF and FG would be fighting to see who would get the one seat between them.
Ireland Votes@Ireland_Votes
Polling subsamples should always be taken with extreme caution, but today’s Business Post indicates the following support levels in Connacht-Ulster: SF: 37% (+8) INDIRL: 15% (+9) FG: 9% (-10) FF: 8% (-6) Changes with their poll in March.
English
Being honest, I’m not sure they can regain public trust.
I actually can’t blame them for not wanting a General Election. It would be a bloodbath currently for them.
Mícheál Lehane@MichealLehane
An urgent meeting of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party has been requested by TDs Seán Ó Fearghaíl and Paudie O’Sullivan, as well as Senator Anne Rabbitte, to discuss the causes of its difficulties and how it can restore public trust.
English
@TomOHanlon17 I agree. I was convinced this Govt would make it to 2029. I can’t see them lasting another 12 months now.
English
The government survived the vote today but they are visibly damaged after the events of the last week
I think the likelihood of government lasting the full term to 2029 is significantly lower now
Dr. Eoin Lenihan@EoinLenihan
Michael Healy-Rae’s comment to media immediately after resigning from government and confirming his intention to vote no confidence.
English
@unspeakable28 Agreed. It’s the actual inability of senior ministers, not just Harris and Martin to see how out of touch they really are that’s most shocking.
They’ll limp on for another while but they’re damaged and being held together by Independents, who will be mostly retiring anyway.
English
We aren’t quite in the Cowen government days, but it does feel familiar, no matter what the public say, the government are not listening, they don’t know how to.
The Taoiseach is too far gone to make his way back, the Tanaiste isn’t much better. Arrogant, tetchy, out of touch.
English
@seanogcarey Protesters were beneath them and they thought it would all blow over.
Then Jim O’Callaghan sent the whole thing to a new level and there was zero coming back from it. Hardly any FG/FF or Govt supporting TD or Senator had the balls to go and speak with protesters.
English
Continuous trend lately is that gov gives a line there were "good honest protesters at the start" who wouldn't normally do that sort of thing and work hard and then "bad protesters" (who don't work?)
Which is odd cus they never addressed them when they were the good protesters
Irishman@IrishmanIRL
Gombeen Michael Lowry says "the protest was infiltrated by undesirables" and has a row with Sinn Féin in the Dáil #NoConfidence
English
The same Michael Lowry who has disabled his comments on Facebook because his support base has turned on him.

@RiseUpEire @VirginMediaNews Yes but won’t have a Ministerial one yet.
Only resigned to save his seat in Kerry.
English
BREAKING: Michael Healy-Rae says he will vote no confidence in the Government and is resigning as a Minister of State.
#VMNews
English
Listening to Finian McGrath on RTÉ would actually gall you. Trying to big up Barry Heneghan.
Colm O’Mongáin quick to point out his links to Heneghan.
Interesting him saying also that Michael Healy-Rae had no backbone.
English
I look forward to seeing what we are getting in North Tipp with this.
80,000 seater stadium?
Aquatics centre?
Concert venue?
Ireland Votes@Ireland_Votes
NEW: Michael Lowry (Independent - Tipperary North) will vote confidence in the Government.
English
@RiseUpEire @VirginMediaNews Don’t think he’s been a Minister long enough for that
English
@ReidyConor @MichealLehane I can’t understand Gillian Toole voting confidence when Senator Keogan was so heavily involved in getting her elected.
Heneghan is a chancer
English
@NiallFarrell218 @MichealLehane Yes, my mind goes to Barry Heneghan though he said he's voting confidence. No doubt where they loyalties of our own constituency 'independent' lie.
English
@ReidyConor @MichealLehane What does it say about the other Independents who said they were going to vote confidence 🙈
Seems like an absolute curveball
English
@MichealLehane That felt very dramatic. I wonder did the Taoiseach and Taniste know in advance or was that the first they heard of it?
English
@rtenews Very misleading headline there when the second paragraph says.
“Irish prices would have been the highest in the continent were it not for VAT reductions and energy credits introduced by the government to shield consumers from rising costs.”
English
Irish electricity prices were the eighth most expensive in Europe in 2024, according to research from the Economic and Social Research Institute
rte.ie/news/business/…
English
@MichealLehane @rtenews Danny will be voting confidence in that case so.
English
Some indications that Government would view a no vote from Danny Healy-Rae in today’s confidence motion as a breach of its agreement with both himself and his brother. It was based on the understanding that two votes secured one ministerial job, which went to Michael Healy-Rae.
English
@newryhurler1 Harkin doesn’t care, she’s retiring at the next election. Would assume Canney is the same.
English
Reality is very few independents or what they actually say and designate to be independent so they can pick up disaffected voters.... absolute charlatans
Ireland Votes@Ireland_Votes
NEW: Independent TDs Sean Canney, Marian Harkin, and ‘Boxer’ Moran have confirmed they will vote confidence in the Government. Barring any backbench rebels, the Government has secured the 87 votes they need to win the vote.
English
I think it’s fair to say that this entire Government has lost the plot at this stage.
What way exactly would the Minister have liked things covered?
There were enough media outlets batting clearly as if they were the Govt press office.
TheJournal.ie@thejournal_ie
Minister Patrick O'Donovan has said he will be asking Coimisiún na Meán to review RTÉ and others' coverage of the fuel protests. He suggested that coverage was "lopsided" in favour of the protest and that "carte blanche was given to some people". jrnl.ie/7011275t
English
@MuinteoirChris The optimist in me was hoping this was for MM to step down or that the Independents in Govt are pulling the plug.
Think it’s more likely to whip the FF backbenchers into line.
