Barry Cowen: Trinity deal ‘not justiciable’ leading us back to the polls

A Fianna Fáil negotiator has said his party could go to the polls at any time as the agreement reached with Fine Gael cannot be enforced by a court.

Speaking after it was reported he had mimicked and reported back on members of Fine Gael’s negotiation team at a parliamentary party meeting, Barry Cowen yesterday said the agreement is “not justiciable”.

As the ink was barely dry on the Trinity Treaty, Mr Cowen aired his frustrations about his opposing negotiation team at Fianna Fáil’s meeting on Tuesday evening.
