FG TDs who called for Croke Park deal review criticised

Eight Fine Gael TDs who controversially called for a review of Croke Park deal allowances and incremenets in yesterday’s Irish Examiner have been heavily criticised by Government.

In a series of responses to the exclusive article, Taoiseach Enda Kenny, five ministers and a leading Labour TD all hit out at the claim — and the public way it was made.

Gerald Nash, Labour TD for Louth East Meath, said the actions of TDs Sean Conlan, Paul Connaughton, Pat Deering, Brendan Griffing, Noel Harrington, Sean Kyne, Anthony Lawlor, and Eoghan Murphy had made the complainants “caricatures”.
