Enda Kenny and top aides face party grilling

Taoiseach Enda Kenny is to face the wrath of his vastly- reduced parliamentary party meeting today, in a bid to save his leadership.

Mr Kenny and his top aides are to be roasted over their botched handling of the party’s campaign, which has seen them lose almost 18 seats.

Mark Mortell, the party’s strategist, last night said he expects he and other top Fine Gael strategists will get “unreasonable and unwarranted criticism” for their handling of the campaign.
