Bruton urges Kenny to stand down
Richard Bruton this evening made an eleventh hour appeal to Enda Kenny not to go ahead with tomorrow's vote of confidence, and instead to step down as Fine Gael leader.
Deputy Bruton was given a major boost today as Laois Offaly TD Charlie Flanagan, and the man appointed as acting finance spokesman - Kieran O'Donnell - declared their backing for his bid to oust Deputy Kenny as party head.
