They knew in FG that Lee was unhappy but as usuall they put their head in the sand : Richard has always said that if the position of leader of FG arose he would of course be interested and he knows that opportunity is coming soon and he was not going to let an upstart like Lee upset his plans to lead FG into the next election .
Bruton had Lee isolated in the Dail and everyone knew it but FG thought it would go away -Ooops they were right he did .
