Kenny ‘misled’ Dáil on bank guarantee files

The Taoiseach has been accused of misleading the Dáil after it emerged files about the night of the bank guarantee do exist within his department.

In June, Enda Kenny told the Dáil there was “no file” in his department relating to the 2008 decision to guarantee the banks to the tune of €440bn.

But a Freedom of Information request submitted by Fianna Fáil shows there are at least 17 files in Mr Kenny’s department about the bank guarantee dated Sept 30, 2008.
