Kenny demands the truth

THE Taoiseach must state clearly what he knew about disgraced former Fianna Fáil Minister Ray Burke’s activities and when he knew it, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny demanded yesterday.

The depth of public outrage seen throughout the country since the publication of the Flood Tribunal report has rarely been seen, Mr Kenny said.

“Every day now, people are coming forward to say they gave the Taoiseach information, concerning his honourable politician, his man for the job, Ray Burke. Let me reiterate: What did he know and when did he know it? He should tell us now because we can handle the truth,” he said.
