Kenny under fire for turning down Sarkozy

THE opposition has labelled as “incredible” a decision by Enda Kenny to turn down the offer of a meeting with French President Nicolas Sarkozy to discuss the eurozone debt crisis.

Mr Kenny will meet German Chancellor Angela Merkel in Berlin today, his first official visit to the country as Taoiseach.

But he told the Dáil yesterday he had rejected meeting with Mr Sarkozy because of a clash of dates.
