Ó Cuív in threat to form breakaway party as FF slumps

WITH Fianna Fáil’s popularity slumping to just 10% in a weekend poll, deputy leader Éamon Ó Cuív has reportedly made a veiled threat to form a breakaway party.

Mr Ó Cuív, currently involved in a bitter standoff over how the party should approach the presidential election, makes the startling claim in a TV3 documentary to be aired tonight.

In the Rise and Fall of Fianna Fáil, Mr Ó Cuív claims the party may have to keep the ideals of the party alive “under some other name”.
