Cooper-Flynn to meet with FF chief whip and chairman tomorrow

Beverly Cooper-Flynn is expected to meet with senior Fianna Fail officers tomorrow to discuss her position in the party.

The Mayo deputy is due to have talks with chief whip Seamus Brennan and party chairman Rory O'Hanlon.

Opposition to Ms Cooper-Flynn's continuation within Fianna Fail is believed to be growing, with even leader Bertie Ahern issuing a thinly-veiled condemnation at the weekend.

She still has not made a decision on whether she will appeal the decision against her in her libel case against RTE.
