War of words: FF duo continue verbal battle

IT IS arguably the bitterest row between two party colleagues in many years, and the quarrel between Fianna Fáil’s Michael Ahern and Ned O’Keeffe shows no sign of easing.

Earlier this week, Mr O’Keeffe used a rather unusual term — “wishy washy man” — to describe Mr Ahern.

In response, Mr Ahern said the last election results spoke for themselves — he topped the poll in the Cork East constituency both men share.
