Here’s the Dept of Finance statement issued late last evening about the Minister’s discussion with the banks. I think we know why some banks didn’t want to be in the guarantee scheme: those in the scheme can be made an offer they can’t refuse: to merge.

Irish Parties looking at learning online and database lessons from Obama could do worse than bear this post in mind. Almost as soon as the election is over, improvements and evolution are making some parts redundant and others essential. Get your campaign an i-phone for everyone?

Colman at the EuroTrib give his reasoning on why Lisbon is dead. The Government's incapable handling of the budget cuts are the nail in the coffin.

FitzGeralds 4000 votes will decide the seats and I don’t think it will be a straight transfer to Sheahan. I reckon it will end with Moynihan Cronin being eliminated after FitzGerald and her votes will let Healy Rae and Sheahan to climb past Flemming who will then be eliminated and FG and JHR will be elected without reaching the quota. Still all depends on Fitzgeralds 4000 from the Dingle area, and Christ only knows what way the second prefs will go.
