Taoiseach puts on a brave face in Bantry

CORK South West TD Denis O’Donovan has taken the blame for wrongly building up hopes of new jobs in Dunmanway before the last general election.

He has been accused of exploiting the vulnerability of people in the town after the Molnlycke factory closed with the loss of 200 jobs in 2002.

Speaking during the visit of Taoiseach Bertie Ahern to Bantry on Saturday Mr O’Donovan said it was not a Fianna Fáil broken promise but a personal one.
