Kenny vows that Fine Gael will be a more open party in the new year

Enda Kenny has said that he wants his ministers to meet constituents more often and for Fine Gael to be a more open party with the public in the new year.

The Taoiseach’s comments come after criticism from backbenchers during Fine Gael’s shambolic Seanad election ploy.

Waterford TD John Deasy went as far as to suggest that TDs were “disgusted” at how Mr Kenny was running the party.
