Kenny slams Taoiseach's absence from Dail

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has launched a scathing attack on the Taoiseach for failing to show up in the Dail this morning.

Mr Kenny said the Taoiseach's decision to open a new youth centre in Tallaght instead of attending the Dail was disgraceful, particularly following this morning's news of 115 bed closures in Dublin's Mater Hospital.
