Fianna Fáil's 'lack of clear identity' blamed for poor election performance in 2020

The report by Sean Fleming TD attributes Fianna Fáil's poor performance in 2020 to a number of factors including being out of step on the Repeal of the Eight Amendment, poor communication, and lack of coordination between its local national and European campaigns. Picture: Gareth Chaney/Collins

An internal Fianna Fáil report blames a lack of a clear identity for the party's poor election performance in 2020.

The report, drawn up by junior minister Sean Fleming, has been given to members of the parliamentary party this evening ahead of the party's in-person meeting in Cavan, which kicks off tomorrow.
