John Deasy will not listen to people 'who couldn't get elected to Dáil'

Waterford Fine Gael TD John Deasy has hit out at party rivals Paudie Coffey and Maurice Cummins saying he won't listen to people “who couldn't get elected to the Dáil”.

In a fresh twist to the bitter row within the party, Mr Deasy said he welcomed a commitment from Taoiseach Leo Varadkar to conduct a review into the split within the Fine Gael organisation in Waterford.
