McGuinness: Nulty should resign

Fianna Fáil Concillor David McGuinness has said that Labour's newly elected TD Patrick Nulty has deceived the electorate in Dublin West and should consider resigning the seat.

McGuinness, who also contested the Dublin West seat, said: "Just over eight weeks ago, outside Roselawn Shopping Centre, Patrick Nulty adamantly told RTÉ Radio 1 listeners that he would always vote with the Labour Party. He said he wanted to get into Leinster House to influence Government policy and stand up for the people of Dublin West.
