Kenny and Gilmore 'disappointed' with O'Shea comments about Cardiff

The Taoiseach and Tánaiste have expressed their disappointment at comments contained in an email from the out-going Irish representative on the European Court of Auditors about the man in line for the job, Kevin Cardiff.

In the email to two members of the Budgetary Control Committee that voted down the nomination of Mr Cardiff yesterday, Eoin O'Shea highlighted how Mr Cardiff had been in a senior position at the time of the banking collapse in Ireland.
