Fianna Fail to back closing Leo spin unit
FIANNA Fail has joined Sinn Fein in calling for the disbandment of Leo Varadkar’s spin machine.
Speaking ahead of a Dail debate on the matter this week, public expenditure spokesman Dara Calleary said it was time for the Strategic Communications Unit to be wound down.
He added: “We haven’t seen the [Sinn Fein] motion yet but if it’s something that advances the cause of the disbandment of the unit, then it’s somewhere we will consider.
“It is clear there is no confidence in Government communications as long as this issue is going on.
“To use the Taoiseach’s own words, it is a distraction from far more important business that we need to be getting on with.”
