If the lads in the RIG are not prepared to take responsibility for being in government, and want instead to try pretend they are not, then they should withdraw and join the opposition benches as genuine opposition TDs.

It is an obvious nonsense - they are government TDs.

Get on with it.

It's very simple to understand - can you imagine the outcry Martin and Harris would lead if Sinn Féin attempted to be in power and in opposition at the same time?
Lowry (a convicted criminal, no less) and his lackeys ARE the government - accept that, and move on. #speirgorm
