It's reported that a neighbour and local party colleague of Enda Kenny was appointed to the board of the state education agency Solas.
According to the Irish Daily Mail, Darragh Loftus was given the job, after previously working in a bowling alley, a bar and an office - and being the head of Enda Kenny's local Young Fine Gael organisation three years ago.
Meanwhile, the Taoiseach’s set to face his stiffest criticism yet from his own backbenchers, over his handling of the John McNulty affair.
