Fianna Fáil TD objects to party colleague's RWC bid comments

A leading Fianna Fáil TD has strongly objected to comments made by his party colleague that those behind Ireland's failed Rugby World Cup bid “couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery”,
In the Dail on Wednesday, Meath West TD Shane Cassells lashed the comments made by veteran Senator Terry Leyden as “insulting and disgraceful”. Speaking during questions to the Minister for Sport, Shane Ross on the failed bid to host the competition in 2023, Mr Cassells began by excoriating his colleague.
