Another chance for Fianna Fáil to change

Speaking in Dublin yesterday at the launch of the latest review of the action plan for jobs, Taoiseach Enda Kenny said that the “legacy of devastation” left by Fianna Fáil policies should never be forgotten.

Indeed, if people do forget the mistakes of the past it would be at our own peril.

As Fianna Fáil was gathering for its second ard fheis since the last general election, the party faithful could have felt a sense of satisfaction that the Taoiseach’s criticism was being played out in the news, in contrast to last year, when Éamon Ó Cuív’s sniping within the party was centre stage.
