Not only is Minister Lenihan 9/4 (3.25) to don a blue tie but the bookies are also offering odds on the Minister for Finance throwing the book at the Gardai after the recent threats of strike action. It's just 3/1 with Paddy Power that Lenihan abolishes the Gardai's rent allowance and 5/1 that he gives their rent allowance a slap of his baton. It is unlikely at odds of 33/1 that we'll see an all-out strike from the Garda Siochana, it is possible a repeat of 1998's 'blue flu' will occur. The odds on a minimum of 1000 Gardai ringing in sick on any one day is odds-on at 4/5 (1.8). Meanwhile, Minister Lenihan could be forgiven for knocking back a stiff whiskey mid speech after the difficult year that it has been. Paddy Power are offering 66/1 that he'll slug a Power's whiskey whilst delivering more bad news. As for what word/phrase he'll say first. 'Economic/Economy' is the 5/4 (2.25) favourite to be uttered first while it's 8/1 Minister Lenihan says 'secure jobs' and 50/1 he says those famous words 'there's no pot of gold'. Paddy Power said: "This budget looks like it will be a blue one all round but with the Gardai threatening to rebel and strike, it's unlikely Lenihan will take any prisoners." Budget Betting What colour tie will Minister Lenihan wear?
