The former Sinn Fein rep believes Fianna Fail and Fine Gael are blocking the course of democracy.
A Independent Laois councillor is crying foul over her Fianna Fail council colleagues decision to block Presidential hopeful Gareth Sheridan's nomination.
Mr Sheridan had secured the backing of Caroline Dwane Stanley and along with the rest of the independent reps and Labour's Marie Tuohy in a vote in Portlaoise yesterday afternoon.
Despite not being under the party whip, Fianna Fail councillors joined Fine Gael in voting against his candidacy.
The pharma entrepreneur had secured a nomination in Kerry but needs another three local authorities to get into the race.
Caroline Dwane Stanley says Fianna Fail may as well be under the whip like Fine Gael:
