Enda Kenny is misguided in promoting the end of austerity

Taoiseach Enda Kenny visualised himself riding on the crest of an imaginary wave during his recent St Patrick’s Day mission to the States. 

At a conference in Austin, Texas he was pleading with young emigrants, as well as those living in Australia and Singapore, to return home to a country emerging from an “economic swamp” and becoming a “magnetic attraction” for innovation.

Mr Kenny would have done far better to emphasise the facilities we have here to attract foreign investment and the creation of jobs.
