Labour grassroots members fear the party could lose all seven of its seats due to the internal war over Alan Kelly’s departure, a secret party gathering has heard.
Party stalwarts in proposed leader Ivana Bacik’s own political backyard, Dublin Bay South, tore into her for her role in the heave, which she told the private meeting was launched after TDs were told of “stark” internal polling results, predicting an even worse showing than Labour’s current dismal 4% rating.
Party members queued up at the meeting to vent their fury at the way in which Mr Kelly was ousted in a swift coup d’etat on Wednesday evening.
