Tánaiste denies ‘hijacking’ O’Shea

TÁNAISTE Eamon Gilmore has denied that Labour “hijacked” the outgoing Irish member of the European Court of Auditors, Eoin O’Shea.

Mr O’Shea apologised yesterday after admitting he wrote an email to MEPs criticising his proposed successor, Kevin Cardiff.

The email came to light after being produced by two Labour TDs in a meeting of the Oireachtas European Affairs Committee.
