Dublin 'leaked letter over Premier's cancelled visit, says MP

The row over the Irish Prime Minister's cancelled visit to Scotland has intensified as the Labour MP at the centre of the controversy suggested Dublin leaked damaging information to the press.

Labour MP Frank Roy has indicated that the Irish counsel in Edinburgh leaked details of a letter which suggested Northern Ireland Secretary Dr John Reid shared his fears over Bertie Ahern's unveiling of a memorial at Carfin, Lanarkshire.
