Irish election likely at the end of March - opposition, Reuters (2011)
This article discusses the possible date for the next elections in Ireland. Prime Minister Brian Cowen pledged to call an early election as soon as the parliament will pass the 2011 budget, and according to some MPs the last bill will be presented to the Senate on February 26. Considering that a minimum of three weeks must be granted for the electoral campaign, the next election will likely be in the end of March. The ruling Fianna Fail, which has had a leading role in the past 90 years of the Irish politics, will probably suffer a defeat.
