'Alliance For Change' offers electorate a real choice: Kenny

Fine Gael and Labour say their 'Alliance for Change' will set the country on a new path.

Enda Kenny and Pat Rabbitte hosted a joint press conference in Dublin today where they say the choice facing voters is 'stark and simple'.

Deputy Kenny says for the first time in 10 years the electorate is being given a real choice.

He added: "In voting for the Alliance For Change - in voting for Fine Gael and Labour - the electorate have an opportunity to vote on an agreed agenda.

"Fine Gael and Labour have set out an agreed programme in specific areas - on the economy, on policing and particularly on health."

Deputy Rabbitte says economic prosperity will be maintained:

"We've made great progress in our society in the last 16 years, but there is also great disenchantment and disillusionment that the fruits of unprecedented prosperity have not been used.

The big causes of disillusion, everywhere you go, are hospitals.
