Hanafin: Cuts to blame for FF poll slump
Social Affairs Minister Mary Hanafin admitted the poll results, which showed Fianna Fáil on just 26% and seven points behind Fine Gael, were “pretty awful” and “very disappointing”.
“But you know, when we look back at the week that we had, the difficult decisions that we had to make, everybody was with us in the country in saying we need to make tough decisions, we need to get the economy back,” she said.
