Sinn Féin brands Kenny ‘spoofer’ for Army at ATMs claim

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been accused of being a “spoofer” and of making an “eejit” of himself over his claim that he was advised the Army might have to guard ATMs during the eurozone crisis.

Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams made the criticism yesterday amid calls for Mr Kenny to give more detail and clarify how and when he was advised that some type of martial law was required.

Mr Kenny yesterday said his comments — given to an international political meeting in Spain last week — were based on “contingency” conversations in 2012 about the potential break-up of the eurozone.
