Irish power struggle
' NZPA Dublin The Irish Prime Minister > (Dr Garret Fitz Gerald) and r the Opposition Leader (Mr ■ Charles Haughey) were still i locked in a power struggle at ; the week-end one week after ; the final results were de- ; clared in Ireland’s dead- ; locked General Election, i Mr Haughey,' who brushed i aside a challenge to his authj ority in his Fianna Fail i Party last week, remained marginal' favourite to take ! over, as head of Government i because of minor poll gains
n over Dr FitzGerald’s' coalition Administration. ir But a lot more negotiating d lies ahead of both men ber fore the meeting of the Dail 11 (Parliament) meets on March it 9 to select the next Prime r Minister. . ’ !- Much still depends on the 1- attitude of seven members of the new House left in a d balance of power position by i- the election. . ‘ il Mr Haughey has to secure d the support of just two of e them to be reasonably sure it of snatching Government s control from his rival.
