What are the implications of a no-confidence vote? Sinn Féin has chosen to use its speaking slot on Wednesday to put down a no-confidence motion in Simon Coveney at around 6pm. The party have indicated that they will use their speaking slot in the Dáil on Wednesday to table a no-confidence vote in Minister Coveney. The Taoiseach has already indicated that all Fianna Fáil members will be expected to back Mr Coveney in any vote. But overall, Mr Coveney will have the numbers in Government and his position will remain secure.
