Mood is confident as Fine Gael meets

FINE GAEL leader Enda Kenny will today tell his party’s parliamentary think-in, in Sligo, that the party is well on course to meet its targeted gain of 30 Dáil seats next year.

The two-day meeting of FG TDs and senators will also discuss crime, energy, the economy and public sector reform in its last extended parliamentary party meeting before the 2007 General Election.

The 47-strong parliamentary party will also discuss strategy and preparation for the expected nine months or so leading up to polling day.
