FF tent at race festival too elitist, claim members

FIANNA FÁIL headquarters has played down a row with grassroots members in Galway who have suggested its corporate tent at the Galway Races be scrapped on the grounds it is elitist.

The party’s Galway West Comhairle Dáil Cheantair is organising a race night in a city hotel next Tuesday, having recently issued a report in which fundraising and the Fianna Fáil tent at the races was mentioned.

The report, entitled Ag Obair Le Chéile (Working Together), said the practice of having a corporate tent at the races was “highlighted by most members”.
