Ministers have tough list of pledges and promises to deliver

GREAT American statesman Benjamin Franklin once said promises may fit the friends, but non-performance will turn them into enemies.

It is only three days since Enda Kenny’s newly picked government was appointed. The new ministers have a tough list of pledges to deliver.

Prior to the election a brave Mr Kenny set out his wish list and promised to report on the near 30 issues highlighted after the first 100 days. But if the political stunt goes wrong it could be a disaster for the Government and turn friendly voters into disappointed foes. So which, if any, of the ‘100-day’ promises were addressed this week?
