Pat Cox
SPEAKING this evening (Thursday), Pat Cox said, “I am delighted to confirm this evening that I have achieved the necessary level of support from all levels of the Oireachtas.
“The National Executive and Fine Gael councillors throughout the country to allow me to go forward for nomination as Fine Gael candidate for the presidency at the selection convention on the 9th July.
“I would like to reiterate my gratitude for the welcome accorded to me by members of the party at all levels and for this encouraging level of support.”
Is it true, as reported in the Irish Indo that FG changed ( ‘Relaxed ‘) the rules to allow for Cox’s selection ?
