Sean Haughey to stay with Fianna Fáil, say supporters

Sean Haughey's supporters say he is not going to leave the Fianna Fáil party if he is not given a ministerial position.

Reports this morning suggested that the Dublin North-Central TD would stand as an Independent at the next election if Bertie Ahern did not offer him a Junior Ministerial job, but sources close to Haughey are denying this.
