Fianna Fáil hopeful of compromise after convention rift

THE Fianna Fáil organisation in Galway West met last night in an attempt to find a compromise in the rift that led to last week’s selection convention being abandoned.

As the fall-out from the acrimonious convention continued this weekend, the local chairman said he was still hopeful that a compromise could be reached.

John Joe Higgins said last night’s meeting would look at any options “that gave the local organisation a chance to have their voices heard.”
