FF TDs criticise offers by junior ministers to quit

FIANNA FÁIL backbenchers have hit out at the junior ministers in their party for saying they would be willing to sacrifice their positions for the good of the economy.

Charlie O’Connor of Dublin South West said last night he was shocked after 11 of the 20 junior ministers said they would sacrifice their positions if asked.

“They should have waited to tell the Taoiseach when he came back instead of sending out signals while he was in Japan,” he said.
