Fine Gael reject accusations of 'sinister' attack on Lisa Chambers

Social Protection Minister Regina Doherty said the questions being asked of Lisa Chambers are merely seeking to uphold standards.

Several leading Fine Gael ministers and party members have sharply rejected accusations of targeting Fianna Fáil TD Lisa Chambers in a “sinister” fashion, as claimed by Michael McGrath.

Mr McGrath in an interview with the Irish Examiner hit out at the singling out of Ms Chambers, “a new TD, a newcomer and a woman,” but Fine Gael in return has demanded an apology from Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin for demanding the resignation of then Tanaiste Frances Fitzgerald in 2017.
