Fianna Fail slams Government’s ‘whitewash’ on Fennelly

A Government decision to turn a Dáil debate on the Fennelly Commission and Taoiseach Enda Kenny into a motion of confidence in the Coalition has been deemed a “PR whitewash”.

The Coalition has derailed attempts by Fianna Fáil to move a motion of no confidence in Mr Kenny and instead will turn a debate into an attack on the opposition.

Fianna Fáil had proposed a two-day debate on findings by the Fennelly Commission and had tabled a motion of no confidence in Mr Kenny.
