Cloyne speech ‘long overdue’

TAOISEACH Enda Kenny’s speech on the Cloyne report was “forthright, honest” and “long overdue”, according to one of the people who wrote to praise him in the wake of the event.

The Irish Examiner yesterday published a cross-section of the letters and emails Mr Kenny received after the historic July 20 speech.

One of the letter writers was Alan Wrafter, a 32-year-old Irishman living in Spain, who outlined to this paper his reasons for writing to the Taoiseach.
