The Labour Party have sensationally pulled out of Government in the ongoing row over Justice Minister Alan Shatter's handling of the Garda tapes controversy.

The Dail was due to debate a no confidence motion in Minister Shatter over the next two days, however this was before the Labour Party's intervention.

Tanaiste Eamonn Gilmore said his Party no longer had any confidence in the Minister, and he called on Taoiseach Enda Kenny to request the President to dissolve the Dail immediately.

A General Election is expected to be held within the next four weeks.
 
And George Hook is the new Irish ambassador to the US...interviewed on Newstalk breakfast show this AM. He's looking forward to the challenge though knowing when to shut his gob may prove troublesome he reckoned!

The Republic of Ireland looks set for a dramatic late call-up to the Fifa World Cup finals in Brazil after France’s participation in the tournament was thrown into doubt this morning.
The FAI is understood to have been told to prepare for a possible shock inclusion at the expense of the French.
High-level sources in Fifa, the game’s governing body, say there is increasing concern at the fall-out from French striker Nicolas Anelka’s recent ban for an allegedly anti-Semitic “quenelle” gesture, and the impact it may have on a tournament which organisers are determined will pass off without controversy.
