It has been mentioned that at least two other Ministers are resigning. One news station reported that someone had resigned, but this was denied by the Minister's office. Then there was speculation about another party. Are other Ministers offering to resign from the Government today and, if so, will the Taoiseach accept their offers? The resignations must be formally presented to the President. The Leader should, therefore, make a definitive statement to the House, if he will not arrange a debate on the matter. Perhaps the Taoiseach should take another course and go to the President also, given the number of resignations-----
