Kenny expected to launch strong attack on Taoiseach

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny is today expected to make his strongest attack yet on Bertie Ahern as the party seeks to maintain the pressure on the embattled Taoiseach.

Prior to the election, Fine Gael was cautious about attacking the Taoiseach for fear of being accused of negative campaigning by voters.

That stance changed after the election, but Mr Kenny still left it to one of his senators, Eugene Regan, to act as principal party spokesman on the Taoiseach’s tribunal difficulties.
