Fine Gael deny centrally managing social media accounts of candidates

A case of great minds thinking alike?

Fine Gael would certainly like the public to think so. The party has denied that it is centrally managing the social media accounts of some of its candidates after a number of strikingly similar tweets were sent out by party members during Monday night’s televised leaders’ debate.

Foreign Minister Charlie Flanagan, Justice Minister Frances Fitzgerald, and Arts Minister Heather Humphreys all posted similar sentiments to the social media site on Monday night, and in one instance posted the same message word for word.
