Wed 05 May 2011Kenny withdraws 'bin Laden' claim
The Taoiseach was forced to withdrew a claim that Socialist Party TD Joe Higgins was a "supporter" of Osama bin Laden during heated exchanges in the Dáil this afternoon.
Enda Kenny, who made the accusation when Mr Higgins criticised the manner of bin Laden’s killing, later withdrew it following demands that he do so from Fianna Fáil leader Micheal Martin and Independents John Halligan and Finian McGrath.
