Government impasse hits private sector workers most

It’s now more than 47 days since that momentous general election when, as a result of our selection of Tom, Dick, and Harry, we are now unable to put together a government.

It’s true that on one occasion back in the day it took around 48 days to put together a Government, but that’s really not likely to happen at this stage given that there is only a glimmer of an agreement. But we should never say never.

Who knows but both Micheál and Enda may have something up their sleeves in addition to their arms.
