“We didn’t tell the people how bad the situation was”

The words of former Carlow/Kilkenny labour TD Ann Phelan about the economic crisis in this country.

The Graiguenamanagh woman was reflecting on her five year term as a TD for this constituency – after she lost her seat in February’s election.

Speaking on KCLR Live this morning, Ann says the government didn’t tell the public how serious the problem was despite her suggesting a nation address.
