Kenny and Co still have senior hurling games to play

It is never easy, is it? writes Daniel McConnell

If Enda Kenny thought that doing the deal with Fianna Fáil was the hard part, and squaring off the Independents was a breeze, then yesterday gave him cause to think again.

With Labour, Fianna Fáil, the Social Democrats, the Greens, Sinn Féin, the Anti-Austerity Alliance/People Before Profit group, and some Independents all not willing to touch him with a barge poll, Kenny’s options for government partners are limited.
