Government to edge confidence vote

THE Government looks set to narrowly survive a confidence motion following its decision to lift the eviction ban.

The votes of Independent TDs are crucial and they told the Irish Mirror that they might not make their decision until the last minute.

After the Labour Party tabled a motion of no confidence motion, the coalition responded by tabling a confidence motion in itself, which will be debated tomorrow and the results will be known before noon.

Sinn Fein, Labour, the Social Democrats, Aontu and People Before Profit will vote against the Government.
