Mary Regan: What now for Eoin Hayes, the man who gave up a million euro for a life of political obscurity?
"Fianna Fáil's Cathal Crowe says 'someone had it in' for Social Democrats TD Eoin Hayes cut a forlorn political figure, sitting on the back benches of the Dáil chamber. No longer in the no man's land of the far-back corner, between Danny Healy-Rae and the wall, he is now sitting behind the rest of the Social Democrats since being readmitted to the party. But there was plenty of distance and little interaction with his party colleagues."

But there was plenty of distance and little interaction with his party colleagues."
Eoin Hayes returned to a seat behind the Social Democrats after readmission but appeared a forlorn figure on the Dáil back benches. He moved from the far-back corner between Danny Healy-Rae and the wall to a position behind his party colleagues. Visible distance and minimal interaction characterized his reintegration, with little engagement evident between Hayes and other Social Democrats. Fianna Fáil's Cathal Crowe claimed 'someone had it in' for the Social Democrats TD, implying targeted treatment and underscoring continuing tensions despite formal readmission.
