Taoiseach wrestles with Callinan inquiry rumours

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has refused to confirm reports that he was recalled by an inquiry over conflicting evidence on events leading up to the resignation of Martin Callinan as Garda commissioner.

Mr Kenny was yesterday critical of information being leaked from the Fennelly commission and said he would not breach the inquiry’s rules by discussing the probe.

His comments come after a report claimed that Mr Kenny was one of three witnesses recalled by the inquiry over the judge’s need to address conflicting evidence.
