No place for liberals in Kenny’s Fine Gael

LEADERSHIP heaves are never edifying, nor is the sight of a party leader clinging on to his position when he is, by any standards, well beyond his best-before date.

It is time now for Fine Gael to say thank you to Enda Kenny for rebuilding the party, which is no mean achievement. But the time has come to move on.

Under Mr Kenny, FG has been presented as a regressive, conservative organisation more at home in the 1950s. This is a much more grave political sin than his lack of charisma.
