Fianna Fáil Leader Micheál Martin has accused the Taoiseach of "misleading the Dáil" over his contact with Anglo Irish Bank.

Today's Sunday Independent has published details of emails from Anglo's chief finance officer Matt Moran in which he says Enda Kenny - who was then leader of the opposition - rang him twice in November 2008 to brief him on Fine Gael and government strategy.

Micheál Martin says the revelations are a 'very serious development' and says the Government's criticism of Fianna Fáil's "collusion" with Anglo now has a "stench of hypocrisy".

Mr Martin says the Taoiseach needs to clarify his contact with Anglo.

Micheál Martin says we don't yet know if there is any more emails detailing claims of contact between Enda Kenny and Anglo's Matt Moran. 

He says it's "disturbing" that the Taoiseach refused to answer five questions put to him by the Sunday Independent about the story. 

The Fianna Fáil leader says "there's no question" that Enda Kenny has acted hypocritically since the Anglo Tapes story first broke.
