Fine Gael chief whip: Fianna Fáil has more power now

Fianna Fáil has more power now than it if it had entered a minority administration, the Government chief whip has suggested.

Fine Gael TD Regina Doherty has also opened up about the “difficult” and “upsetting” response from her colleagues after she called for clarity around when the Taoiseach would step down.

Ms Doherty was then forced to clarify what she yesterday described as an “extremely ill-advised remark” made on LMFM and reiterate her support for Enda Kenny.
