Right when Nicolas starts I’m to say

March 11th, 2011 · 1 Comment · European Union

Photo earlier today from the Informal Heads of State meeting in Brussels. Pictures from the Council of the European Union. Enda and Nicolas Sarkozy exchanged strong words tonight.  Do you think he was deep in thought practising his french in the picture? ‘Paddy voudrais savoir ce que se passe, M. Sarkozy! Ne touchez pas notre [...]

More on ‘Paddy’ knowing the story

March 4th, 2011 · 5 Comments · Irish Politics

From Enda Kenny’s weekly email to FG members tonight I know the Irish people are weary. They have been lead down a path of despair and desolation in recent years that was not of their own making.  I am acutely aware of the untold and unjustified suffering so many have endured, and continue to endure, [...]

Enda’s been deactivated

February 10th, 2011 · 7 Comments · Elections, General Election 2011, Irish Politics

Given the level of criticism that Enda received for not appearing at the TV3debate on the Fine Fael Facebook Fan page (much of which dissappeared!) it’s no surprise they give Enda’s page a rest. Psst to James and Jim I know what you are going to say and I’m not anti FG – I’m anti [...]

‘She got a good time from Fine Gael’

February 5th, 2011 · 9 Comments · Elections, General Election 2011, Irish Politics

Thanks to Cian for bringing my attention to this little bit of venom from Enda Kenny on Thursday as reported yesterday by Lise Hand. Gemma Hussey had questioned Enda’s leadership on RTE’s Eleventh Hour on Wednesday night and Enda was asked about her comments. Gemma Hussey is out of politics, she should stay out of [...]

Cluck

February 5th, 2011 · 2 Comments · Elections, General Election 2011, Irish Politics

So is this what Enda Kenny was thinking? I don’t want to do too many three way debates, I have to find a reason to get out of doing them. Better if I start off in a five way and get lost. And I’ll tell you this, the excuse I’ll use will be that bad [...]

Pravda in Mount Street

January 28th, 2011 · 4 Comments · Elections, General Election 2011, Irish Politics, Social Media

I’ve been keeping a list of twitter accounts established by candidates in the General Election. It’s interesting to watch campaigns take shape and candidates find their feet online. Some use it to react to voters and national election/political issues, others talk about the feelings/opinions of voters that they are experiencing on the canvass. Many FG [...]

The Audacity of Enda

January 15th, 2011 · 15 Comments · Elections, General Election 2011, Irish Politics, Social Media

Some think I’m unfair or obsessed with the subject so with the resumption of the new Fine Gael social media strategy I waited 24 hours to comment and watched many of the rest of Ireland on the internet dissolve into a mixture of mirth and disbelief. How lucky are we!!! For free you can download [...]

Get standing

January 12th, 2011 · 2 Comments · General Election 2011, Irish Politics

The website is still not working so Enda Kenny was spot on when he said he said he was going to stand it down but he is back in town ready for the Dáíl. In remarks just delivered on the plinth of Leinster House he’s talking about his plans to ‘Get Ireland Working’. You may [...]

Enda Kenny – He’s Alive!

December 12th, 2010 · 14 Comments · Elections, Irish Politics, Recession

Enda Kenny – remember him? Leader of the opposition from Mayo, longest serving member of the Dáil, survivor of the heave. He’s been missing a lot this week – of course he’s in the Dáil asking the long strangulated question of the Taoiseach (ok not as long and strangulated as Gilmore’s can be) but generally [...]
