Tonight
Leinster House, Dublin 2.
Meanwhile..
Alan Kelly’s legacy will be water charges and homelessness. The media loved him, but people never forgot his time in Government and particularly the role Labour played in hammering working class people with austerity measures.
Something he / they have never apologised

Earlier…
This evening.
Sources have confirmed there had been criticism of Mr Kelly’s leadership style as the party continues to stall in the polls.
One representative said that Mr Kelly’s plan to improve the party would involve him “travelling around the country, pressing the flesh”.
Another source said that issues had come to a head in last week’s parliamentary party when Mr Kelly faced serious criticism from the representatives present, with one TD saying that they ultimately felt that the decision on Mr Kelly’s future would lie with Dublin Fingal TD Duncan Smith.
“If Duncan says he has to go, he has to go,” they said.
Anyone?
