Kenny must radicalise politics to succeed
Enda Kenny: Fine Gael has been his field of play throughout his career, but he must now define and differentiate his leadership on the national stage.
NO Taoiseach served longer than Enda Kenny as a TD before attaining the highest political office and no Taoiseach had less previous experience at cabinet. Kenny outlasted his rivals and confounded his critics to win the prize. A man whose stamina and capacity were underestimated, Kenny’s training was in the school of hard knocks, not high office. After his long apprenticeship, he is clearly enjoying his date with destiny.
