FF candidates were like lambs to the slaughter

WHILE I welcome the fact that Fianna Fáil recently undertook a ‘root and branch’ analysis of its performance in the recent elections, it’s a pity that it came too late.

It was also on the back of that fiasco for the party when councillors and candidates were sent out like lambs to the slaughter.

While acknowledging the pressures imposed by our EU presidency at the time, the fact is that no FF cabinet or junior minister visited South Tipperary during the campaign.
