A week to forget for Enda Kenny, and it’s only Wednesday

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has suffered three blunders so far this week, and looks a weakened figure whose days are numbered, writes Political Editor Daniel McConnell.

‘IT IS only Tuesday, give him a break,” was Social Protection Minister Leo Varadkar’s response to a question from the media yesterday as to whether his boss Taoiseach Enda Kenny is having a bad week.

The loss last night of ex-senator Joe O’Toole as chairman designate of the Government’s water commission was the third blow to the Government in 48 hours, all of which have combined to undermine Kenny’s authority.
