Brian Lenihan admitted to hospital - report

Fianna Fáil party would not comment on the story in the Star that Lenihan was admitted to hospital “some days ago”.

THE FIANNA FÁIL party has declined to comment on a report this morning that TD and former minister Brian Lenihan has been admitted to hospital.
