Enda tucks in while leaders debate

WHILE many in the country were glued to a TV debate between potential leaders of the government, the one man who had refused to take part was enjoying a calm meal.

By the time the TV3 debate went out on television screens at 8pm last night, Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny had joined his advisers for the tasty evening dinner.

Was it Enda, Eamon or Michael for Taoiseach? No, it was beef, salmon or chicken on the menu at the Carrick-on-Shannon hotel before the town hall-style meeting.
