THERE’S A ROW brewing in Fine Gael this evening, after a backbench TD insisted he should be able to discuss or criticise party policy at a meeting of the parliamentary party.
It’s understood Minister for Social Protection Regina Doherty said that Durkan had raised it in an inappropriate way last week, and said that he should have had a quiet word with Murphy in the corridor about it instead. At the close of tonight’s parliamentary party meeting, Durkan also approached Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to discuss the matter further.
The government is set to lose a key vote on housing this week, however, with Sinn Féin’s rent freeze bill on course to pass despite the government’s opposition.
Elitism from Regina again. Of course he should be able to bring it up at a meeting.
MaryOGrady8 And I thought last FF government were out of touch
Glad to know there may be one with morals after all
If they can’t discuss it at a meeting then why bother having a meeting .
ReginaDo saying Durkan should have “had a quiet word with Murphy in a corridor” instead of bringing up his grievance with the party, is everything that’s wrong with FineGael and Irish politics!
