The explosive interview given by the Dáil’s youngest TD James O’Connor on his local radio station had many people choking on their cornflakes yesterday morning.

Clearly unhappy at being “misled” and “lied to” by Government figures over the lack of inclusion of Cork East projects in the National Development Plan, Mr O’Connor let rip, going as far as threatening to resign from Fianna Fáil if the situation is not resolved immediately.
