Champion of diplomacy ahead of Croker clash

Taoiseach Enda Kenny gave no sartorial hint as to what team he will be supporting in tomorrow’s All-Ireland hurling final replay.

After his proud wearing of a tie in the Mayo colours at last Sunday’s All-Ireland football final, some people looked for clues as to his likely team preference for the Cork and Clare clash.

None were detected as he wore a red tie (Cork) and a light blue shirt (Clare), a neutral diplomatic choice that would have done justice to any protocol adviser.
