Ruairí Quinn says he didn’t want the Tánaiste to resign the party leadership – and says the 8 younger members of the party who were set to bring a motion of no confidence, which included Clare TD Michael McNamara, should have afforded Mr Gilmore some courtesy.
The Minister says he will have to wait to see who’s in the running for July’s leadership contest before endorsing any candidate – amid reports that Joan Burton is already attempting to drum up support.
