The speech Taoiseach Enda Kenny will never make to the electorate

ENDA KENNY needs me. He needs me if John McNulty loses the Seanad by-election tomorrow and he needs me even more if John Mc Nulty wins.

I feel I’m wasted in this job when I could be out there saving Enda. I can write him the speech which will save his political skin and be a first in the history of Irish politics.

He doesn’t even have to worry that I’ll make him say something frighteningly leftie or liberal or even worse, environmental, just because my politics may be different than his. I know speech-writers have to play to the strengths of their politicians to earn their enviable fees and I’d do no different.
