Grealish to meet Cannon amid FF move speculation

GALWAY WEST TD Noel Grealish has sought a meeting with the Progressive Democrats (PDs) leader, Ciarán Cannon, about his future in the party following indications he will join Fianna Fáil before Christmas.

Mr Grealish — who is one of two remaining PDs in the Dáil — said he has not ruled anything out and confirmed that discussions with Fianna Fáil which began soon after last year’s general election, are ongoing.

Mr Cannon is on holidays but told yesterday’s Galway Independent newspaper there is no truth in rumours that an announcement might be made at the Fianna Fáil “think-in” conference in Galway next month.
