PDs reject FG suggestion of ‘election stunt’

THE Progressive Democrats yesterday rejected Fine Gael’s suggestion that Liz O’Donnell’s outspoken behaviour was a stunt paving the way for her to run in the European elections.

FG European election candidate Gay Mitchell described the PD TD’s comments calling for a halt to “Sinn Féin bashing” as a misguided pre-election stunt.

According to Mr Mitchell, the publication of the International Monitoring Commission’s report confirming continued IRA activity showed up Ms O’Donnell’s views.
