Kenny ‘has just months’ to save Coalition

The Government has only months to save itself from going into "irreversible decline up to the election", former Fine Gael strategist Frank Flannery has warned.

He said Enda Kenny’s Government must stop acting like a “dictator” in how it runs the country and start listening to the people — or else Fine Gael could lose over half its Dáil seats in the next election.

Mr Flannery said the Government needs to stop telling people what to do and what’s good for them, and start a period of “honest policy” development.
