FF unveils ‘slightly’ rebranded name

Dermot Ahern was blaming the silly season. ‘It’s nothing. The media, as it does at this time every year, is trying its best to make a story out of nothing.’

But Enda Kenny was having none of it. ‘It’s a disgrace. It’s worse than the future of Zimbabwe,’ he said. Labour leader Eamon Gilmore drew comparisons with the most well-known Asian dictatorships.

FF’s decision to change its moniker from 'the republican party' to FF – the Permanent Party of Government has opposition parties fuming, but as usual, the public seems unconcerned.

Sitting in his constituency office on William Street, Tullamore the Taoiseach was critical of criticism: ‘It’s nothing new,’ said Mr Cowen. ‘It’s simply a recognition of something longstanding.’
