Fianna Fáil is at the edge of a cliff and in mortal danger
If the eclipse of the North as a major current issue is a tribute to its success, economic decimation is the ebola virus that is eating Fianna Fáil’s flesh away
ASWIFT end is sometimes better than survival in a calamity. Fianna Fáil’s fate has been to survive after the greatest electoral calamity since the old Irish Party’s 1918 obliteration. Tonight, its first ard fheis in opposition since 1997 begins. Back then, an election was imminent and hope was high. Now, if it is lucky, it faces a decade of hard work reclaiming credibility. That labour has been made immeasurably greater by Éamon Ó Cuív.
