Blaney seeks meeting with McDaid after FF exit

Fianna Fáil TD for Donegal North East Niall Blaney is seeking a meeting with his constituency colleague Jim McDaid who withdrew his support for the Government today.

Deputy McDaid said he took the decision because of the "farcical" outcome of a meeting of the Letterkenny Milford Dáil Comhairle Ceanntair.

The former Government Minister and a number of his supporters walked out of that meeting after the first two positions to be voted on went to supporters of Deputy Blaney.
