Yesterday, Tánaiste, Minister for Finance, and leader of Fine Gael Simon Harris was asked about Michael Healy-Rae.
In April, the Kerry Independent TD resigned as a junior minister following the fuel protests; he also voted no confidence in the government.
On Tuesday’s Kerry Today, he told Jerry that he’d been effectively forced into this position; he said his brother fellow TD Danny had dragged him overboard when he, Danny, had called on Fianna Fáil and Fine Gael TDs to topple the Taoiseach and Tánaiste in April.
Jerry got the views of Fine Gael councillor Teddy O’Sullivan Casey.
