Coalition and budget conspiracy claims
Senator Humphreys accused Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil of colluding to kill the micro-plastics bill, prompting heated procedural exchanges.
While I am not suspicious by nature and I do not buy into these theories, I sense the dark hand of Fianna Fáil and Deputy Timmy Dooley in the amendment to the Bill. Fianna Fáil has requested its senior member in the coalition to ensure the Senator's Bill be killed off in order to allow Fianna Fáil to come forward ahead of it. If Fine Gael and Fianna Fáil are a coalition, they should stop playing games. They operate together. They vote together. Fianna Fáil Members sit there and wait to see which way each vote will go.
