Kenny ‘ready to lead country’

ENDA KENNY has acknowledged that he has had to work hard at certain aspects of his disposition and character to become a credible Fine Gael leader and a possible future Taoiseach.

But in an interview with the Irish Examiner, Mr Kenny says he harbours no doubts whatsoever about his ability to lead either his party, or the country.

“If an election came now, in September or October, I will be as ready as anybody else. I’m prepared for it, whenever it comes.”
