Incoming Taoiseach urges ‘leap of faith’

INCOMING Taoiseach Enda Kenny is asking for a “gigantic leap of faith” from the Irish people to trust their government and political leaders to write a new chapter in the country’s history.

In a rousing address to jubilant Fine Gael supporters in Dublin’s Burlington Hotel on Saturday night, Mr Kenny declared that: “Ireland is open for business”.

He said: “We have no time to lose, no hours to waste. We have a big job ahead of us.”
