VIDEO: Ministers back Enda Kenny in Dáil over Martin Callinan exit

Ministers have backed Taoiseach Enda Kenny as he faced down accusations of being dishonest and dodging questions about his role in the resignation of the Garda commissioner.

Many Coalition TDs yesterday avoided embarrassing claims around Mr Kenny’s role and instead turned a motion of no confidence in him into an attack on the opposition.

Mr Kenny flatly rejected accusations he sacked Martin Callinan as Garda Commissioner and said the recently published Fennelly Commission’s interim report had cleared him.
