Fianna Fáil consults grassroots for campaign suggestions

Fianna Fáil TDs are expected to reach out to local councillors in the coming months as part of wider plans to draw up a list of “campaign” issues the party will raise in the Dáil from autumn.

The move was discussed during a front bench meeting of the opposition party yesterday, which took place as division continued to be apparent within Fine Gael.

It is understood that the Fianna Fáil meeting involved discussion on an “autumn strategy” for the second half of this year concentrating on what issues to raise in the Dáil over the coming months.
