CLLR AODHÁN Ó RÍORDÁIN: McGRATH CHOOSES SAVING GOVT. OVER CREDIT UNION FEARS

CLLR AODHÁN Ó RÍORDÁIN: McGRATH CHOOSES SAVING GOVT. OVER CREDIT UNION FEARS: "The decision of two Independent Deputies to vote with the government today saved Fianna Fail and the Greens from the potentially embarrassing situation of having to rely on the casting vote of the Ceann Comhairle to save them on a key financial measure.The government won the vote on the final stages of the Central Bank Bill 2010 by a margin of 69 to 65 votes. However, both Deputies Finian McGrath (Dublin North Central) and Joe Behan (Wicklow) voted with the government on this occasion. Had they voted with the opposition, the margin would have been 67 and 67 and the government would then have required the casting vote of the Ceann Comhairle to save it."?
