Grassroots disillusioned and confused, says FF veteran

Disillusion and confusion has gripped the Fianna Fáil grassroots following the latest bout of in-fighting, a party veteran has warned.

Former senator Nioclás Ó Conchubhair called for all members of the previous government to resign from the Fianna Fáil frontbench in a bid to restore confidence in the party.

The Connemara-based grandee of the party said he would like to see Mayo TD Dara Calleary take over as leader before the next general election.
