‘Remark is inappropriate’

Minister for Mental Health Helen McEntee said remarks made about her by the Government chief whip are “completely inappropriate”.

Government whip, Regina O’Doherty was asked if she “got on” with her Fine Gael constituency colleague from Meath-East in a newspaper interview.

“No, not at all. And I have no idea why. She would walk past me in the corridor and wouldn’t even blink her eyes. And I don’t know why,” Ms Doherty answered.
