Kenny ploughs on in defence of ‘stroke specialist’ Reilly

Enda Kenny said he was disappointed about Róisín Shortall at the National Ploughing Championships and he meant it — where was that ungrateful woman when he needed her?

All that effort he, James Reilly and Eamon Gilmore had put into her training for this moment over the past 18 months — and this is how she repaid them?

The trio had ganged up on Shortall again and again throughout that time — isolating her and forcing her to plough her lonely furrow day after day at the Health Department.
