Kenny’s letter to Ó Cuív: Give me your support

HE has already caused ructions in Fine Gael after looking for money from developers on the golf course. But as Enda Kenny continues on the quest to raise party funds he has started to look in the most unlikely of places.

He hasn’t just held out the begging bowl to a Government minister, but the Fine Gael leader has delved directly into the Fianna Fáil bloodline in search of money.

Eamon Ó Cuív — grandson of the founding father of Fianna Fáil, Éamon de Valera — is used to dealing with pleas for financial assistance and welfare payments as Minister for Social Protection.
