Fine Gael TDs want Shane Ross to explain bus strike role

The abandonment of rural Ireland dominated the weekly meeting of the Fine Gael parliamentary party last night.

But, to some surprise, the current crisis engulfing the Garda Commissioner Nóirín O’Sullivan did not feature at the meeting, according to sources present.

At the meeting, a plethora of rural Fine Gael ministers and TDs demanded that Transport Minister Shane Ross be hauled before them to explain his handling of the Bus Éireann strike.
