Kenny: SF court case enough to trigger poll

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny believes a court case taken by Sinn Féin could be enough to trigger an election early next year.

And he said the mutinous ranks of his own party will remain loyal long enough for him to win the vote.

Mr Kenny said he did not think the Government could call three by-elections, as a tactic to thwart Sinn Féin’s ongoing High Court challenge, without putting every seat in the Dáil at the mercy of the people.
