Irish Government Ready To Collapse?

ON Thursday the Irish government was on the verge of collapse. This after the party whose votes Prime Minister Leo Varadkar depends on to pass legislation appeared set to break the terms of a “confidence and supply” deal.
The opposition Fianna Fail party said it would put a motion of no confidence in Deputy Prime Minister Frances Fitzgerald on Tuesday. The move would breach the deal it agreed to support Varadkar’s Fine Gael government in key votes for three years.
