Pressure on Taoiseach to correct Dáil record over 'banks were not bailed out' remarks

Taoiseach Micheal Martin said he made the comments 'in the heat of battle'.

The Taoiseach is under mounting pressure to correct the record of the Dáil over controversial remarks he made denying there had been a bank bailout.

Labour has joined Sinn Féin in calling on Micheál Martin to correct the Dáil record after he claimed Irish banks did not receive a bailout.
