FG under fire over ‘dirty tricks’ in Áras race

MARTIN McGUINNESS has accused Fine Gael of “black propaganda and dirty tricks” after the party launched a series of political attacks on the Sinn Féin presidential candidate.

He claimed he was willing to open up his bank account to prove that he took no more than the average wage as his salary, with other earnings going to the party.

This row came as Independent candidate Mary Davis four times failed to state in an interview how much she had earned from sitting on state boards.
