    It says here
    Taoiseach Enda Kenny has told the Fine Gael Parliamentary Party that he intends to address the nation between now and Budget day to set out the fiscal and economic position the country finds itself in.

    He made the announcement in the course of a 15-minute speech to TDs and Senators in which he focussed on the debt crisis and the threat it poses to this country.

    Meanwhile, the European bailout fund has confirmed to RTÉ News that it has postponed a plan to sell €3bn worth of Irish Government bonds.

    A spokesman for the Luxembourg-based European Financial Stability Facility said the delay was due to "market conditions" - a reference to the financial turmoil triggered by the Greek referendum.

    Asked when the bond auction might take place, the spokesman said it would be "not too long" but could not be more specific.

    The postponed sale of Government bonds was due to be the first since the EFSF secured additional powers from EU leaders in July, which were then ratified by eurozone parliaments.

    The Deputy CEO of the EFSF had been commenting recently that the auction was about "building demand".

    Market rumours suggest the EFSF will attempt to reorganise the bond auction for two weeks' time.

    Speaking on RTÉ's Morning Ireland earlier, Minister for Finance Michael Noonan said Ireland has to ensure it has no association with the situation in Greece and has more in common with northern European economies.

    Minister Noonan said the Greek decision to hold a referendum on the bailout had been unexpected, but said the possibility of bringing the referendum forward to December may be hopeful news.

    Enda Kenny is a little girly man who brings his lunch to work in a My Little Pony lunchbox & lets his mammy cut his hair for him.

    How he ever became Taoiseach is beyond me.

    Its gonna be another "We Irish and strong and we can get though this, we have to prove how resilient we are" type of speech. Like telling a child to prove how fast he is by getting you a choc ice from the freezer.

    More like they miscounted how much was miscounted and we actually owe 3.6 billion more than we previously did before thinking we owed 3.6 billion less.

    The self-important dick. Any other leader of a country as fùcked as ours would be giving regular updates and not making grandiose statements that they're going to make a statement.

    Yes. Which proves my belief that the electorate in general are a bunch of halfwits.

    Well, considering that they didn't elect Fianna Fail, I think it's a huge improvement.

    " You know all that stuff we promised you before the election. We lied. You're screwed. Get used to bread and water suckers!"

    But 600,000 people still voted for FF's SG last week.

    We all know how Enda likes to regurgitate old speeches, wonder how much of this one he'll use?

    Oh I know they will, I just hope I can emigrate to an intelligent country before that happens.

    Fianna Fail voters are guilty of treason by proxy and should be executed.

    He's fcuked if he doesn't get Obama over to do the support for him.

    Reckon he'll rip off Winston Churchill next...

    If he was a proper good Taoiseach he'd fix it that Mayo win the all Ireland next year.

    Address the Nation my arse.
