Sinn Féin missed a trick in not volunteering to pair Eamon Ryan on its motion of no confidence in minister Helen McEntee.

It may not have been the done thing, enabling one government minister when it is trying to dislodge another, but it would have countered the Government’s argument that the party is being irresponsible in tabling such a vote now.
