Enda’s Davos performance was more Britney than GaGa

Our Taoiseach’s comments about the people of Ireland’s ’mad borrowing’ didn’t quite give his billionaire buddies the full story, as he failed to mention the role that lenders and the bank guarantee played in getting us into this mess

GUSHING, even by RTÉ standards, the news reader breathlessly announced “Enda Kenny is to make his first appearance at the world economic forum in Davos today” like the Taoiseach was Lady GaGa about to headline Glastonbury before an ecstatic audience.

Pah. Enda sucking-up to every passing billionaire in the Swiss resort, and hopelessly doing his usual trick of trying to mug his way into any possible photo shot with a suitably uncomfortable looking Angela Merkel?
