Kenny: SF pact furore has not overshadowed campaign

Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny today denied that speculation about a possible alliance with Sinn Féin has overshadowed the party's political campaign going into this week's elections.

It comes in the wake of comments made by the party's director of elections, Frank Flannery, which indicated that Fine Gael would consider a coalition pact with Sinn Féin in the future.
