Alan Shatter criticises Fine Gael campaign as ‘delusional’

Former justice minister Alan Shatter has berated the way party handlers managed the disastrous Fine Gael election strategy which was a “bizarre” and “delusional” campaign.

Taoiseach and party leader Enda Kenny also had serious questions to answer about the campaign, he said.

Ahead of what will be a critical meeting for Mr Kenny today with his TDs, Mr Shatter said it was up to the parliamentary members whether he should remain as leader.
