Keaveney would join Hezbollah for career advancement: Rabbitte

Communications Minister Pat Rabbitte has accused ex-party chairman Colm Keaveney of political opportunism and said he would join terrorist group Hezbollah if it helped his career.

The claim comes after Me Keaveney joined Fianna Fáil last week and as the opposition party scrambles to recruit disgruntled TDs in the Dáil.

Fianna Fáil has admitted it is open to discussion with TDs about joining its party and would consider prominent Independent TDs as “assets”.
