He sent Durkan instead
Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny turned down an invitation to join the protest march.
His party colleague Bernard Durkan, Mayo TD, took to the stage but was roundly booed and jeered by the crowd.
Mr Durkan claimed his party leader had stood by the Rossport Five over the last three months, but his words were drowned out by the noisy protesters.
Don't you just wonder how Rabbite and Kenny could just abandon their countymen?
