Kenny: Criminal investigation into Maurice McCabe affair not ruled out

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has not ruled out a criminal investigation into the Maurice McCabe affair as the controversy threatens to engulf the Government.

As Sinn Fein prepares to table a no confidence motion when the Dail returns on Tuesday, Mr Kenny said the Government would have to wait for the Charleton Commission of Investigation to get underway before deciding the next course of action.
