Taoiseach won’t appear on ‘Frontline’ treaty TV debate

Taoiseach Enda Kenny will not appear on RTÉ’s Frontline debate on the EU fiscal compact treaty next Monday.

Amid claims by the no side that he is running scared from television debates, having refused to go on a TV3 debate this week, Mr Kenny will not take part in the showdown between both sides, which will be presented by Pat Kenny.

Instead, RTÉ bosses are hoping the Taoiseach will take part in a Prime Time debate the following Tuesday, just two days before the May 31 referendum.
