'It's messy': Fianna Fáilers 'disappointed' at conclusion of MacSharry complaint issue

Image: Leah Farrell DISAPPOINTMENT IS THE overall feeling in the Fianna Fáil party today following Marc MacSharry’s resignation of his membership.

“This recent complaint related to exchanges between us over several months on services I have secured for Sligo University Hospital and their significance. It was a robust issue and robust language was used. However, his readmittance hit a stumbling block, with party whip Jack Chambers and the Taoiseach telling members that “an issue has arisen” in bringing him back into the fold.

Some would rather MacSharry have kept his mouth closed rather than pointing out some of the pitfalls of being in Fianna Fáil, while others within the party have often said after an outburst in the parliamentary party meeting that he was just saying what most of the TDs and Senators were thinking from time to time.

They added that the overall feeling in the party is that MacSharry should have been readmitted to the parliamentary party and the Taoiseach or party HQ could have dealt with the complaint from there. One TD said that the party knew what buttons to push to make MacSharry react in such a way, stating that the matter should have been dealt with in a straightforward manner. They said MacSharry should have been readmitted to the parliamentary party and if something came from the internal investigation into the complaint, it should have been dealt with thereafter.

It's an embarrassment to their party. A better party would have seen this car crash coming and removed him. They would have shown leadership within their own party (at least). But no.. We get 'messy' & 'disappointed'. They're in for a kicking at the next GA, and rightly so! 😡

Imagine what those fiannafailparty TD's would be saying if this were sinnfeinireland . Chilling , not a normal party , undemocratic, not ruled by the members. Take your pick , messy is not a word that they'd use.
