Taoiseach to face questions about Flood resignation

The Taoiseach Bertie Ahern is expected to face further questions about the Flood Tribunal fiasco in the Dáil today.

Yesterday, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny said he wanted to know why Justice Fergus Flood, the chairman of the tribunal, had decided not to deal with the issue of costs before resigning last Friday.

Mr Ahern is also expected to be questioned about a VHI request for an 8.5% increase in charges, and job losses announced yesterday in Navan, Co Meath.
