Labour urged to rethink election pact plans

The Labour Party should reconsider entering into a voting pact with Fine Gael before the next General Election after its poor performance in last weekend’s by-elections, it was claimed today.

The Amalgamated Transport and General Workers Union (ATGWU) which is an affiliated member of the Labour Party, said support for the party had suffered because of the deal in the Meath and Kildare North polls.
