New book claims government met with Real IRA

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny last night called on the Taoiseach to clarify the full extent of any contact between the Government and the Real IRA.

Mr Kenny was speaking after claims that Senator Martin Mansergh met with real IRA chief Michael McKevitt, four months after the Omagh bombing.

The Taoiseach has denied in the Dáil that such a meeting took place.
