COLM KEAVENEY CALLS FOR REFOCUS WITHIN LABOUR PARTY

Date Published: 24-Mar-2013

A change in priorities, action and attitude is now urgently needed by those in leadership within the Labour party.

That's the view of Galway East TD Colm Keaveney who last evening published a lengthly statement on his blog on the party over which he remains the Chairperson.

Deputy Keaveney, who now considers himself a member of the opposition, lost the whip after voting against part of the Social Welfare Bill last year.

His recent blog insert states that issues including pay and pensions of senior public servants, banker's pay and upward only rents are all areas where tough decisions must be made.
