Three times as many of the Fianna Fáil parliamentary party are campaigning for a No vote than a Yes vote in the forthcoming referendum on the Eighth Amendment. At least 35 Fianna Fáil TDs and Senators have coalesced into a group to campaign to save the pro-life amendment, including deputy leader Dara Calleary and the party’s finance spokesman Michael McGrath. The group is led by Fianna Fáil TD for Waterford Mary Butler. The group held a photocall yesterday with 31 members, including frontbench spokespersons Eamon Ó Cuív, Niamh Smyth, Anne Rabbitte and Margaret Murphy O’Mahony. Another four, TDs John McGuiness, Willie O’Dea, Kevin O’Keeffe and Senator Diarmuid Wilson, sent their apologies. Yesterday’s photocall was in response to a similar photo taken two weeks ago at the same venue attended by a mere 10 members calling for a Yes vote.
