Statement from Labour leader Ivana Bacik TD - The Labour Party
Responding to today’s statement from Jennifer Carroll MacNeill, Deputy Bacik said:
“I am deeply disappointed to see today’s outrageous statement issued from a Minister who should know better.
“As a Fine Gael TD, Jennifer co-convened the all-party Oireachtas penal reform group with me. To see her being drawn into issuing this statement with its personalised and entirely spurious attack upon me and upon other party leaders shows that Fine Gael are now resorting to increasingly desperate smear tactics.
“With two weeks still to go in this election, they need to reflect on the manner in which they are conducting their campaign.”
