Desperado O’Dea on the ropes in Dáil duel

SO CONCERNED was the Government about feuds in Limerick last year that it sent down John Fitzgerald to sort it all out.

Well it seems that the former Dublin city manager still has his work cut out following the extraordinary altercation in South’s pub last weekend, involving the Wyatt Earp of Irish politics, Defence Minister Willie O’Dea.

Yesterday O’Dea came out fighting (meta-phorically of course) after being accused of being more belligerent than a Jack Russell defending its territory during his spat with two local people last Saturday night.
