DUBLIN, Nov 29 (Reuters) - These are some of the leading stories in Ireland's newspapers on Thursday. Reuters has not verified these stories and cannot vouch for their accuracy:

THE IRISH TIMES

- Minister for Health and Children Mary Harney last night received outright support from Taoiseach Bertie Ahern and Tanaiste Brian Cowen when the government easily defeated a no confidence motion against her.

- Former taoiseach Albert Reynolds said last night that a visit he made to the Bahamas in March 1994 was an official government trip and insisted it did not involve any unscheduled stopover, as was suggested at the Mahon Tribunal.

IRISH INDEPENDENT

- Rebel Fianna Fail TD Ned O'Keefe last night sensationally resigned from the parliamentary party after refusing to back Health Minister Mary Harney.

- Cardinal Sean Brady will today be given a landmark escort by police officers of the PSNI when he crosses the border on his triumphant return to Ireland.

IRISH EXAMINER

- Top economist Padraic O'Connor -- who signed off on a 5,000 pound payment that Bertie Ahern says was to go towards his marital separation legal costs in 1993 -- yesterday disputed the Taoiseach's description of him as being a personal friend.
