Sinn Féin plans no confidence vote in Taoiseach

Written By Unknown on Kamis, 04 Desember 2014 | 22.40

Sinn Féin TD Pearse Doherty has said his party will table a motion of no confidence in Taoiseach Enda Kenny next week.

Mr Doherty said he expected the vote to coincide with next Wednesday's protest against water charges.

Speaking at a press conference organised by the Right2Water campaign, Mr Doherty said Sinn Féin planned to hold the vote because, he said, the Taoiseach had failed to listen to the citizens of the State.

The TD added that Sinn Féin would not consider going into government in the future unless water charges were scrapped.

Meanwhile, Tánaiste Joan Burton has said if a 17-hour debate on the second stage debate of the Water Services Bill proves to be inadequate, further debate can be facilitated.

She was responding to a number of queries during the Order of Business in the Dáil this afternoon, regarding tomorrow's Dáil sitting which will enable deputies to debate the bill further.

A number of opposition TDs voiced concern over the pace of the legislation being put through the House - saying the guillotining of the initial Water Services legislation last December.

Ms Burton pointed out that the Social Welfare Bill was debated in the Dáil yesterday, and "at no stage were there more than five Deputies in the Chamber".

The Tánaiste said "that was a Wednesday, and the people in the Chamber were the party spokespersons on the issue, by and large".

She said if 17 hours of debate on the Water Services Bill is inadequate, the debate will possibly be continued into Saturday and Sunday.

The aim is to vote on the legislation on Tuesday.
