As the headline says Breakingnews.ie is reporting Tony Gregory is tipping Labour to go in with FF. Would FF want to give up that many ministries? Not sure. But will Labour want to get in power to stop co-location? And what does that leave the green chances?

Councillor bound to peace for insulting fellow FG activist
A NEWLY ELECTED Fine Gael councillor has been bound to the peace for 12 months for calling a fellow party member “a f****** scab”.
Noel O’Keefe gives a frankly stunning and sickeningly honest quote to the Cork Evening Echo. Is this a view into the mind of Irish politicians, or is it just one example of the issues that need to be tackled if we are to reform our political system? If there’s one thing you read this week, make it this quote.
Green members’ conference set for July
The debate on Lisbon is underway as the Green Party look at getting their meeting out of the way on 18 July – can we expect the fireworks and close vote of last time out or will the Greens take part on the Yes side this time out?

Is Charlie McCreevy in the running to lead the No campaign for Lisbon II? asks Jamie Smyth of The Irish Times.
I don’t think it’s a question of Labour going in with FF anymore, it’s the opposite.
By the looks of the predictions FF could give away far fewer ministries by going in with some of the other options on hand – Labour are just too big to justify if/when FF get 78/79
Following on what Adam says, I don’t know how Labour would protect themselves from a breakdown with FF if some new scandal did break during the term in office of a FF-Lab coalition. One thing recent history has shown is that it’s the coalition partner that gets punished by FF scandals. Labour in 1997 and the PDs this time. The FF core vote holds. The vote that floated to the partner leaves.
There is no reason for FF to go in with Labour or the Greens.
yes it makes a majority govt BUT based on this who would want another election ?
Not the Independents as they know they are at risk.
FF & PDs are at 80, its minority but can be handled if done well.
The idea that young Deasy is calling for the resignation of Enda Kenny is mind blowing i hope they throw him out. People like that are no addition to any party. Hes not a team player thats obvious ……….
