Eoin Hayes

Where are they?

I have to ask you about an issue that was overshadowing the thinking, and that is, of course, the controversy surrounding your Dublin-based out-TD, Eoin Hayes.

Of course, he's faced plenty of questions over his previous role at a tech company and claims relating to job cuts.

Does that damage the party's credibility? Everything you're trying to push here and highlight at the thinking, is this ongoing issue something that you feel damages your credibility and casts out into the minds of those who might be minded to vote for you?
