FG put on a united display after row

FINE GAEL rowed in behind leader Enda Kenny last night as its deputies and senators tried to forget about the fractious events of the previous week.

Mr Kenny addressed his parliamentary party meeting and said he would not be distracted by the attention his party received in recent days.

At last week’s gathering, Lucinda Creighton TD stormed out after she complained a comment directed at her was “patronising”.
