Storm Frank: Ministers reject claims Enda Kenny absent during crisis

Two Government ministers responsible for solving the floods crisis have denied Taoiseach Enda Kenny has shown a lack of leadership throughout the crisis by failing to visit devastated areas.

Fine Gael’s Minister of State with responsibility for the Office of Public Works Simon Harris and Labour’s Environment Minister Alan Kelly rejected growing criticism of the Taoiseach’s whereabouts, saying people do not want to see Mr Kenny “just putting on the wellies and doing a Bertie Ahern”.
