FF backbencher: Cowen 'has problem with communication'

A Fianna Fáil backbencher has said the Taoiseach Brian Cowen has a problem with communication.

Noel Ahern said Mr Cowen will remain on as leader of the party until the next election, but he said they'll reconsider things after that.

He also said: "The Taoiseach needs to communicate as well in public as he does within the party."
