Simon Harris bounds from the bunker to greet Micheál Martin in their civil war

Asked about the divisions between the parties, colleagues until a week ago, the Taoiseach said: 'We shouldn’t rewrite history in this campaign either. The last Government worked well together'

Taoiseach Simon Harris shakes hands with Tánaiste Micheál Martin whilst canvassing voters in Killorglin, Kerry, ahead of the General Election on November 29.

Things have been hotting up of late between Fianna Fáíl and Fine Gael, not least in Kerry where Micheál Martin's party is actively targeting their old comrades for a second seat.

But there was no sign of the inter-party hostility in Killorglin on Saturday morning where Simon Harris emerged from the aptly titled Bunkers restaurant to meet and greet the Fianna Fáíl leader canvassing in the mid-Kerry town.
