Kenny faces showdown over $50,000 donation to FG
As the Dáil begins a two-day examination of the Moriarty Tribunal report into the way the 1995 mobile phone contract was won by Esat, the controversial transfer of money to Fine Gael two months after the licence was granted will take centre stage.
Mr Kenny initially refused to be drawn on the donation when the report was published last Tuesday, before admitting a day later that the financial transaction was “wrong” and he regretted the “circuitous” route Fine Gael had taken in returning the money.
