He blames Sinn Féin


Sinn Féin is a coalition partner


[DUBLIN, Jan 22 (Reuters) - A vote due
on Wednesday in the Irish parliament
to elect a new prime minister
was delayed by a day after opposition
protests over speaking rights for
independent lawmakers supporting
the incoming coalition government
derailed a chaotic sitting.
Micheál Martin was due to be
elected prime minister at around 1230 GMT
following a coalition deal struck
last week between the country's two
large centre-right parties and a group
of independent lawmakers after
a Nov. 29 election.]
