Fianna Fáil TD Barry Cowen is demanding a special in-person meeting to discuss the by-election and general election results. “I believe the electorate deserve a focused cohesive Fianna Fáil party, that is fit for purpose to serve as a Republican Party of the 21st century,” the Laois-Offaly deputy writes. Fianna Fáil TD Cathal Crowe said today he doesn’t expect Micheál Martin to lead the party into the next general election. “I don’t think Fianna Fáil understands the scale of the problem yet,” he said of housing. Mr O’Callaghan was the director of elections in the constituency where he is the sitting Fianna Fáil TD.
