Tallaght 2 strategy not on the agenda for Fine Gael

QUESTIONED about the possibility of a new Tallaght Strategy last week, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny spoke candidly – arguably too candidly.

The original Tallaght Strategy had seen Fine Gael support cutbacks implemented by the minority Fianna Fáil government in the late 80s in order to rescue the economy.

Tallaght had been good for the country but bad for Fine Gael, Mr Kenny said, and as a result, there would be no Tallaght 2.
