Kenny refuses to accept no win signal in Cork
The FG leader, who was on a vote-getting tour of the South-West, breezed into the Co Cork town and one of the first things he did was to buy scratch card from an Asthma Society of Ireland seller. Eager party followers milled around as Enda scratched away, but then stood back momentarily in shock when their beloved one revealed a NO WIN sign. Kenny was quick to reassure them that would be the last such sign they’d see from his campaign.
All the attention went completely over the ticket seller’s head. Romanian Ovideio Scoarta didn’t know who Enda Kenny was, and didn’t see to care too much either — although he had noticed that this man had his face emblazoned on the side of two 4x4 jeeps parked on the main street.
