Kenny reprimands errant TD Deasy

FINE GAEL upheld its ‘family at war’ reputation last night, when justice spokesman John Deasy was again reprimanded by party leader Enda Kenny.

In his latest clash with the party hierarchy, Mr Deasy went against his Fine Gael colleagues to surprisingly vote with the Government on the controversial Immigration Bill.

Previously, Mr Deasy has received a rap across the knuckles from Mr Kenny for criticising former leader John Bruton and suggesting that some of his frontbench colleagues should be replaced.
