Taoiseach under fire over huge ‘reputational damage’

TAOISEACH Enda Kenny faced some of his strongest attacks yet, with claims the Moriarty Tribunal report was the most serious criticism ever of a party by an inquiry and would cause huge reputational damage to the country.

There were also demands that the report be forwarded to the Director of Public Prosecutions (DPP) and that six members of the Government be quizzed about their knowledge about the Esat licence deal.

The sitting members who were part of the 1995 Fine Gael, Labour and Democratic Left government include Enda Kenny, Michael Noonan, Richard Bruton, Brendan Howlin, Ruairi Quinn and Pat Rabbitte.
