FF urges Kenny to back up file-shredding claim

Claims that the previous government may have shredded files relating to the bank guarantee have backfired on the Taoiseach, who was accused of casting unfair aspersions on the late Brian Lenihan.

Fianna Fáil last night challenged the Taoiseach to provide evidence to back up his “flippant claims” or else withdraw them from the Dáil record.

Enda Kenny made the comments during leaders’ questions, when he was asked what progress was being made in renegotiating the crippling bank debt.
