There is, as far as I know, no facility for those outside the Dail to bring it down, no impeachment proceedures, no recall mechanism, the gaurds will only reluctantly accepts complaints of treason and the DPP won't touch them so........

take to the streets and stay there 'til the government resigns. There's a long history of it and sometimes it even works!!!!!
