"Only a single senior minister chose to sit beside the Taoiseach last week after stormy meeting over Jim Gavin"
"Pat Rabbitte, the former Labour Party leader, once described RTÉ's Oireachtas Report as a programme "for drunks and insomniacs"."
"Last Wednesday at ­midday, despite Rabbitte's warnings, I turned on Oireachtas TV, in the hope of witnessing any political hangover being suffered by Taoiseach Micheál Martin, following his midnight mauling at the hands of his party colleagues in Leinster House."
Pat Rabbitte once described RTÉ's Oireachtas Report as a programme 'for drunks and insomniacs.' Only a single senior minister sat beside Taoiseach Micheál Martin last week after a stormy meeting concerning Jim Gavin. The Taoiseach endured a midnight mauling by party colleagues in Leinster House. Midday coverage on Oireachtas TV displayed reduced ministerial presence around Martin. The sparse attendance signalled visible political fallout within the party following the meeting. Observers looked for signs of a political hangover or damaged authority after the confrontation over Jim Gavin.
