Enda Kenny is set to face fierce criticism from Fine Gael TDs today over his refusal to release two reports on the general election.

The criticism will come at the party's pre-Dáil think-in in Kildare.

The two-day think-in in Newbridge is officially on the subject of "using economic progress to improve people's lives".

And the formal run-up to the Budget - which will be delivered four weeks from tomorrow - will be the dominant theme across four formal sessions.

But the previous mantra of 'keep the recovery going' is also likely to be the source of some frustration.

The party has commissioned two separate reports into its general election campaign which ran under that slogan.

But instead of being presented with those reports today, TDs and Senators will instead only be given a summary of the findings.

One cabinet minister said over the weekend the Taoiseach was being a 'control freak' over the reports - and his own future is also likely to be discussed, at least informally.
