Irish government majority faces uncertainty as Independent TDs shift stance

The Irish government’s majority is now uncertain after Independent TDs, including members of the Lowry group, stated they would vote on a "case-by-case basis." This contradicts previous assumptions of a solid majority of 95 TDs supporting the coalition. Emails from TDs like Danny Healy-Rae and Michael Lowry have raised questions about their commitment to the government. While some in the coalition believe they can still count on support, frustrations are growing over the shifting dynamics. The government previously relied on nine Independent votes, but now it appears they can only count on 91 TDs. This change may challenge the coalition's stability as the opposition seeks to exploit the situation.
