Enda Kenny lashes out after question on departure

An angry Enda Kenny lashed out at media questions over his pending departure at a frosty press conference in Montreal last night.

Responding to questions from the Irish Examiner, on behalf of the Irish media, Mr Kenny got annoyed at being asked about when he intends stepping down as Taoiseach.

“I can’t believe actually that you have travelled this distance to ask a question like that,” he said sharply. “I have come here to meet with the Canadian prime minister and Canadian business to explore the opportunities that exist across the Atlantic for the creation of jobs and investment and to the benefit of Canadians and Irish people. That is my business here. Next question.”
