Kenny rubbishes McDowell claim that election winner doesn’t matter

FIANNA FÁIL’S focus is on “perks and Mercs” and not on running the country, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has said.

His party would be markedly different if returned to power at the next general election, he insisted.

Mr Kenny was reacting to a suggestion by Justice Minister Michael McDowell that it did not matter whether voters opted for Fianna Fáil or Fine Gael next time out.
