Fianna Fáil TD demands Lenihan be replaced

AN OUTSPOKEN Fianna Fáil TD last night branded Brian Lenihan a “disaster” who had “created a banking crisis”.

Ned O’Keeffe demanded the Taoiseach replace Mr Lenihan as economic chief in a Cabinet shake-up.

“He is a disaster. He has created a banking crisis. Things are very bad for the private banking sector now,” Mr O’Keeffe said after details of the €50 billion bank bailout were announced.
