Yesterday, Independent TD for Kerry Michael Healy-Rae resigned as a Minister of State and voted no confidence in the Government. His brother Danny also voted against the Government and ended his support; he had signalled on Monday when he spoke to Jerry on Kerry Today that he would do so. Michael Healy-Rae was not available for interview – Deputy Danny Healy-Rae spoke to Jerry, as did Fianna Fáil minister Norma Foley, Kerry Sinn Féin TD Pa Daly, and Kerry Fianna Fáil backbencher Michael Cahill. Did Danny’s announcement on Monday leave Michael with no choice but to resign? Minister Foley says the coalition’s deal with the Healy-Raes was dependent upon both deputies supporting them. Michael Healy-Rae said yesterday in the Dáil that he resigned because the Government was not listening to people’s worries about fuel costs as evidenced by recent protests.
