Tánaiste incapable, says McGuinness

SACKED junior minister John McGuinness has broken ranks from Fianna Fáil to publicly accuse Tánaiste and Enterprise Minister Mary Coughlan of being incapable of resolving the employment crisis.

Speaking on the Late Late Show last night the outspoken Carlow-Kilkenny TD — who was axed from his minister of state for trade and commerce position during Wednesday’s junior minister cull — claimed the Government’s deputy leader needed to be removed for the good of the country.

Lashing out at the Enterprise, Trade and Employment Minister’s lack of “business understanding” and inability to react to stem the job losses tide, the Government backbencher said his former ministerial boss was suffering from “paralysis” in power.
