Quinn urged to clarify position on Reilly
A spokesperson for Mr Quinn said he had expressed confidence in his colleague in the past week and there was no reason to believe his position had changed.
Responding to the reports, party leader Eamon Gilmore, speaking in Clonmel, Co Tipperary, said: “That’s not Ruairi Quinn’s view... The entire gover-nment is unified. James Reilly has a particularly difficult job to do.”
