FF minister: Taoiseach gets 'very unfair press'

A Junior Fianna Fáil minister is coming out in support of the Taoiseach Brian Cowen, who he says gets a very hard time in the media.

Minister John Maloney said the parliamentary party think-in in Galway this week was the first opportunity the Taoiseach has had in the past year, to "be close to his colleagues".
