Ring defends Kenny's decision to dodge debates

The Taoiseach's constituency colleague Michael Ring has defended Enda Kenny's refusal to debate the Seanad referendum.

In a televised debate on RTÉ's Prime Time last night, Fine Gael put forward Minister Richard Bruton to call on voters to scrap the Upper House - a move which has been criticised by opponents, who say the Taoiseach should stand over his own plan.
