Taoiseach Enda Kenny refuses to clear up whistleblower questions

Concern over why abuse claims weren’t discussed by Cabinet.

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has refused to say if and when he found out about false child sex abuse claims regarding Garda whistleblower Sgt Maurice McCabe.

There is growing confusion among senior government figures about why a Tusla file about Sgt McCabe was not mentioned or discussed at last week’s Cabinet meeting.
