Healy withdraws from United Left Alliance

Seamus Healy has pulled out of the United Left Alliance in the Dáil, saying that he was frustrated by how the group handled revelations about Mick Wallace's tax affairs.

The Tipperary South TD represents the Workers and Unemployment Action Group - and is the group's only Dáil deputy.

It is accusing the Socialist Party of blocking its attempt to have the ULA demand Deputy Wallace's resignation from the Dáil.
