Dana threatens to quit over coverage of family

DANA Rosemary Scallon said she would exit the presidential race if her family continued to be “dragged across” the campaign.

She said her family was more important to her than the presidency and it was “disgusting” that a legal dispute involving her siblings was being reported on.

She also suggested she was being “discriminated against” because she was a practicing Catholic and that “it’s about time that people confronted this anti-Catholicism that’s going on”.
