Wed 03 Mar 2009Gardaí visit radio station in Cowen painting inquiry
Fresh life was breathed into the controversy over nude paintings of the Taoiseach which were found hanging in two Dublin art galleries after it emerged that a Garda detective had visited the offices of a national radio station looking for emails it had received from the artist.
The news came after RTÉ apologised for a television news report concerning the nude portraits of Mr Cowen. It said it had received a number of complaints about the item on Monday’s Nine Newsincluding one from the Taoiseach’s office. The report did not run on subsequent television bulletins and was taken down from the RTÉ website.
