Cuffe ‘lacked political cop-on’

GREEN Party TD Ciarán Cuffe lacked political cop-on by holding onto shares in unethical companies, his party colleague MEP Patricia McKenna said yesterday.

The Dublin MEP admitting the party was damaged by the revelation that the Dun Laoghaire TD held more than €1 million worth of shares in companies which included chemical and petrol corporations.

Ms McKenna said she and many of the party were shocked when they realised Mr Cuffe held shares in companies they had campaigned against.
