Kenny accused of telling a ‘porkie’
His accusation came as Joan Burton, the social protection minister, said Ireland would seek an orderly exit from its bailout amid claims the country may need a second one.
Mr Ross said Government claims the economy would expand by 1.3% this year, as forecast in the budget, were untrue. The troika have halved this prediction. However, Mr Ross suggested the Taoiseach was selling this “Irish story” while on a visit to the US this week.
