Dáil row erupts over Government website

A DISPUTE ERUPTED in the Dáil today over the government’s MerrionStreet.ie website, which carries government interviews, speeches and press releases. Labour Party leader Eamon Gilmore described it as a “propaganda site” which seems to be a Fianna Fáil site. Cowen responded: “You come up with the charge, but you don’t give an example.”
