Labour’s gig but Fianna Fáil is topic of the day

IT WAS supposed to be a Labour Party gig but there wasn’t all that much about Labour’s core values or policies — instead it was all about Fianna Fáil.

There was party leader Eamon Gilmore’s belief that Micheál Martin was seeking a “general absolution” for the general failures of Fianna Fáil in Government, his assumption that “a lot of people have made up their minds about FF” and then the belief this election will be “less about individuals” and more about “the mess made by FF”.

But Eamonn is as eager as Micheál for a three way leaders’ debate though. It’s just that Enda standing in their way, not satisfied with three and wanting his way to be “five-way”.
