Kenny’s claim Ahern misled Dáil rejected

THE Government last night rejected a claim by Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny that the Taoiseach Bertie Ahern misled the Dáil over the National Aquatic Centre.

Mr Kenny took issue with the Taoiseach’s comments after details from an independent report on the Centre seemed to contradict Mr Ahern’s explanation that damage to the roof was caused by a freak wind storm.

The confidential report, obtained by RTÉ, concluded that damage to the roof was due to the assembly of the roof and could have occurred at normal wind speeds.
