Is this the kind of ‘honesty’ we can expect from Enda?
Enda Kenny's speech
'a bright new day where there is no gap, where the people and its Government are one again, a day when our people are united in cause.
"This is the first day of a journey to a better future. That future will be achievable when Ireland can again take charge of its own destiny."
That challenge is truly Ireland's call. The Government and I intend to answer that call and to make our nation proud, prosperous and respected again. That works starts today," he said.

No claim for compensation may be made against the Minister on foot of any such requirement.’’
