Kenny criticises Government over Laffoy letter

Fianna Gael leader Enda Kenny has attacked the Government after the publication of Miss Justice Laffoy’s resignation letter.

Miss Laffoy handed in her resignation as Chair of the Commission investigation child abuse last week, on the day the Minister for Education declared a review of the commission.

A Government spokesperson said the letter would only be released after a cabinet meeting next Tuesday, but the contents of the letter appeared in today’s Sunday Independent.

Mr Kenny said publication is a damning indictment of the Government's competence and management of the Laffoy commission.
