Kenny under pressure to apologise for Shatter sacking

Enda Kenny is coming under pressure to apologise for wrongly sacking his former minister Alan Shatter, who has made fresh claims that the Taoiseach has a “casual relationship with the truth”.

Mr Kenny has been forced to defend his actions over the 2014 Guerin report on garda misconduct, after Mr Shatter said he had spent three years clearing his name over the “flawed” document.

Mr Shatter said the report on gardaí by barrister Sean Guerin, which wrongly criticised his failings as a minister, needed to be pulled from circulation or amended.
