Tánaiste 'not in the loop', says MEP Gallagher
Fianna Fáil MEP Pat 'The Cope' Gallagher has claimed Tánaiste Mary Coughlan was "not in the loop" when he was asked yesterday by senior Fianna Fáil figures to stand in this month's Donegal South West by-election.
He says it is understandable why she was not consulted, as she has to consider her own political situation within the constituency.
