Default In this Dail, what FF TDs have made public criticisms of the Party and Government?

Chris Andrews is the lastest Fianna Fail TD to go 'public' with his criticisms of
the party and government.

Over the last while, we've had various articles with the 'party sources' or 'senior party sources' quoted as saying there is trouble within FF, people
aren't happy with the direction of the party, with Mary Coughlan, Brian Lenihan, Brian Cowen, Sean Dorgan and so on.

To date the Fianna Fail TDs to have come out publicly with criticisms of the Party/ Government. are..........

Chris Andrews
Noel O'Flynn has criticised all he could.
John McGuinness has been sniping away
Mattie McGrath has come out with a criticism or two
I'm sure Ned O'Keeffe has said something critical too.

Then the whipless trio of Devins, Scanlon and McDaid had their say also.
Joe Behan upped and left over the medical cards for the over 70s (a decision that other FF TDs must be regreting they didn't take at the time too).

What other FF TDs have publicly criticised the Party/Government?

There are a host of backbenchers who are uttering mutterings of discontent to their people on the ground, and waiting for a local issue of importantce to them to show their discontent and resign 'the whip'.

None more public yet, I guess we will have to wait for NAMA.

How any TD can stand over NAMA is beyond a joke, and beyond me

I agree - I think this issue will explode massively on Sept 15th if Lenihan tries to tell us that a 20%-30% "haircut" for the banks is good business for the taxpayers!

However, FG and Lab must present alternative workable proposals before then or they'll come across as incompetent bluffers who are opposing NAMA just for the sake of it and Lenihan will come across as the logical intelligent planner who is trying his best to put things right!
