Ó Cuív faces FF expulsion over position on EU treaty

Éamon Ó Cuív faces expulsion from the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party if he refuses to refrain from advocating a no vote in the EU fiscal treaty referendum.

The Galway West TD looked increasingly isolated last night after the party decided to haul him in for questioning over his decision to ignore party orders by campaigning for a no vote.

The party’s frontbench met yesterday and raised concerns about Mr Ó Cuív’s decision in recent days to side with the no campaign on the airwaves.
