Kenny needs to show real leadership

I WOULD have thought that Enda Kenny — our Taoiseach — would by now have realised that this country is in deep, deep trouble at all levels of society, and should start taking the high moral ground and thereby show leadership, rather than the finger pointing he persists in carrying out during Dáil debates and blaming the last government for all our current ills.

Mr Kenny should realise that by engaging in county council-type jibes he is not giving the leadership required to solve the main issues.

Mr Kenny should also realise that we are only too well aware by now, of how, and by whom, our troubles started.

The Taoiseach should also realise that “what comes around, goes around” as perhaps someday a finger will be pointed at him.

Perhaps Mr Kenny should also realise that the FG opposition not only openly supported the last government on the bank bailout, but consistently berated that reviled ex-government for not spending enough.

It’s time to grow up, Mr Kenny, and get on with solving the real issues, unless, of course, you want your government to have that self-same lousy legacy.
