PDs have lost their nerve, says Gormley

Green Party chairman John Gormley has accused the PDs of losing their nerve in response to Michael McDowell's announcement that he is to stay in government with Fianna Fáil.

"It is clear from today's statement by Michael McDowell that the PDs have lost their nerve. They sulked, they threatened and then did nothing when faced down by Fianna Fáil.
