Rebels attack FG and call for Seanad to be retained

Former Fine Gael junior minister Lucinda Creighton lobbed another political hand grenade in the direction of Taoiseach Enda Kenny after declaring that members of the Reform Alliance will again oppose Fine Gael policy and support the retention of the Seanad.

Ms Creighton attacked Fine Gael’s campaign to abolish the Seanad, claiming there had been virtually no debate.

Ms Creighton said: “We’ve only heard about slogans, cheap slogans if you ask me, about €20m savings and getting rid of politicians.”
