Kenny faces pressure to release files

Pressure was piled on Enda Kenny last night to release files in his department about the night of the bank guarantee after he originally claimed that none existed.

The Taoiseach’s officials moved to dismiss accusations he made false claims that “no file” existed in his department about the controversial guarantee.

A Freedom of Information (FoI) request submitted by Fianna Fáil shows a total of 17 files about the Sept 30, 2008, guarantee exist in his department.
