Enda Kenny has all the qualities needed to be a natural born leader

POLITICAL campaigning and electioneering can sometimes be a difficult and trying experience. For individual candidates, election campaigns can be quite lonesome and personally demanding.

Enda Kenny has all the qualities needed to be a natural born leader

During my first experience as a candidate in the Kerry County Council elections of 2004, I was canvassing in the Milltown area one day in the final week of the campaign. At one point, as I drove from one housing estate to another, I heard Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny give a lengthy interview on a national radio programme. It was an important issue and Enda articulated his view very well, as a leader should. I felt proud of him as I silenced the radio and continued my canvass on foot once again.

When I returned to the car about an hour later, one of the two ladies who had accompanied me on the canvass checked my mobile phone for missed calls and messages and informed me that, among others, there was one missed call from Enda Kenny and that he had left a voice message.
