Taoiseach has Confidence in Tanaiste

The Taoiseach says he has confidence in the Tanaiste but heÂ’s not satisfied with the information heÂ’s been given by the Department of Justice.

ItÂ’s also emerged that Frances Fitzgerald received an email about Maurice McCabe three days before he was cross-examined by the OÂ’Higgins Inquiry.

The Dail is again focusing on the timeline of events about when the former Justice Minister knew about a garda strategy to discredit Maurice McCabe.

Juliette Gash reports;

Earlier the Labour party said there are still discrepancies in the account given by the Taoiseach on the Maurice McCabe controversy.

Alan Kelly says the contentious email was received by Frances Fitzgerald was received on May 15^th 2015, three days before Maurice McCabe was cross-examined.

This appears to be at odds with comments made by the Taoiseach in the Dail last week that Miniser Fitzgerald only got wind of the Garda legal strategy AFTER the cross examination.

Alan Kelly says it doesn’t add up;
