Kenny ‘out of touch’ over water levy anger

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has been branded patronising after telling some anti-water-charge protesters to “enjoy themselves”.

Independent TD Catherine Murphy seized on the remarks as a sign of how “out of touch” Mr Kenny was with the real world.

The Taoiseach was also accused of being “on the run” after Fine Gael stepped in to prevent the Dáil debating a Sinn Féin motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach while tomorrow’s rally against the charges takes place outside the Dáil.
