Hanafin: Losing Ryan in Euro elections would be trouble for FF

Minister Mary Hanafin has said it would be a serious issue for Fianna Fáil in Dublin if Eoin Ryan lost his seat in the European elections.

Ms Hanafin said however that the results of the elections do not show that the people want a change of Government and she said the Cabinet has full confidence in the Taoiseach Brian Cowen.
