Government likely to survive confidence motion as Bacik sends rallying cry to opposition

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

Several independent TDs are holding their cards close to their chests and told the Irish Mirror that they might not make their decision until Tuesday or Wednesday.

The Labour Party tabled a motion of no confidence in the Government last week. The coalition responded by tabling a confidence motion in itself, which will be debated at 9:12am on Wednesday. Confidence motions are voted upon immediately, meaning the results will be known before noon.
