Fianna Fáil to debate Haughey motion

The decision to debate a motion wishing former leader Charlie Haughey well at the Fianna Fáil Ard Fheis is a sign of the party’s maturity, a Government minister claimed today.

Education Minister Mary Hanafin admitted the well-being of the former Taoiseach was an unusual choice for discussion at the party’s annual gathering but said she felt it was the right move.
