Kenny demands Govt statement on alleged IRA contacts

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny is demanding a statement from the Taoiseach on the Government's alleged contacts with the real IRA after the Omagh bombing in 1998.

Deputy Kenny says the reported involvement of Bertie Ahern's then special advisor, Martin Mansergh, needs immediate clarification.

The opposition leader says the Taoiseach must explain if the Government offered any concessions to the organisation in return for a ceasefire.
