    The job announcements are brilliant news and being a mature student in his my final year of college it heartens me to hear that jobs are picking up and that the unemployed rates are falling slowly but surely.

    What we hate is that buffoon practically taking the credit for their creation. He is a pure spin doctor. As wooden as pinochio and a bigger bluffer. Couldnt debate his way out of a paper bag.

    LIT Tipperary man by the bang off your posts.

    Enda, where are you?
    Danske Bank Ireland, formerly National Irish Bank, is to withdraw from the personal banking market to refocus on its corporate customers. The refocus will result in the loss of 150 jobs in the Republic.

    Sometimes I find attitudes in this country truely mind boggling.

    People whinge and moan about the state of the country, the lack of jobs etc but then they also moan when something good happens just because it's Enda Kenny who annouces it.

    I really think people are just complaining and being annoyed for the sake of it now, or because it's the thing to do.

    Jobs have been created, this is good news, stop whinging.

    All that bull**** that went on in the convention centre yesterday while the good citizens of capital were facing into their first night of many having no drinking water

    well done Kenny

    In fairness to Enda, all politicians do this. As a politican in Ireland he probably doesn't know any other way to react.

    Doesn't matter anyways, as the Irish electorate have very short memories, for good or bad news.

    Yeh the water disruption was deliberate don't ya know.

    I agree and i don't have any bias against the man but him ignoring the problem or his smart ass answer on the subject was sickening

    I would have a lot more respect if he said "yes there was a mess up, I'm sorry." This water thing seems to be becoming a regular occurrence in Dublin

    Don't be so dramatic. They aren't cutting off the water completely, just rationing it. No one is going to be completely without it.

    It's not Enda Kenny's fault.

    This is Dublin 2013 the flashy tech capital of Europe,

    we have no fresh water

    Enda Kenny should be personally investigating the source of this water shortage instead of meeting with potential investors.

    Yes we do...again it's just been limited, and only between certain hours, not 24/7.

    Lets stop acting like we are in the middle of a drought.

    They just love giving out - they know a pop at Kenny & Co. will be a popular move on here so it's a handy way to accrue 'Thanks'. Inside however, they welcome the 350 jobs and they don't really care that Enda Kenny is happy. And on this note, I'll depart from the thread as I'm pretty sure the AH Negativity Brigade will be on the prowl for another cheap '10 Thanks' by attacking my post in some sarcastic way that will probably also involve burning the bankers as part of their analysis.

    Also good to see Audrey Hepburn has the time to comment on these grave matters.

    exactly the sleeves should be rolled up and he should be up to his neck in water at that treatment plant

    Nobody should be allowed become Taoiseach without a rudimentary grounding in the principles of water composition and treatment. It's a complete no-brainer.

    Successive Governments have failed to do what every other civilised country has taken for granted,that is the need to build enough reservoirs to meet future demand.
    Instead we have hairbrained ideas to take water from the west of Ireland in a country where it seldom stops raining.

    Yeh Apple is always hiring, but pretty much solely bilingual people, which is fair enough, but as said, a few hundred new jobs doesn't necessarily mean that much for unemployed Irish people.

    I don't get the absolute vitriol re Enda though. I mean, he's cringey, lacking in charisma, and can be a complete dope, but otherwise he's fairly benign. He's not a horrible, hateful **** - and is a saint in comparison with Ahern and Haughey.
    The venom towards him just seems like "He's a politician - let's attack him" bandwagon-jumping.

    Kenny is as big a cnut as the names mentioned above and he is a lying smarmy smug cnut as well.

    Alright go on, how's in the same league as those two?

    he lied through his teeth to get elected

    he made promises he was never going to keep

    he is afraid to debate "anyone"

    he cannot make a statement without at least 10 nodding dogs standing around him.

    the list is endless

    he is a cnut

    I think most people (correctly) associate Haughey and Ahern with rank personal corruption and dodgy money changing hands, backhanders, dig-outs etc. Whatever your thoughts on Enda, he's a mile ahead of those FF (unts. Unless of course you want to point out such instances from the "endless" list

    A mile ahead ?? the only reason he is Taoiseach is because he was there. He is like the FCA, when all other options exhausted call them in. The only reason he doesnt do back handers is because he doesnt know how to .

    Yeah he's as bad as Saddam sure. He'd be massacring the people of Cork if he had the proper armed forces.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,533 ✭✭✭Jester252


    Enda will be viewed favorable in history. Giving that under his leadership Ireland was able to leave the IMF ballout and go back onto the market.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 3,068 ✭✭✭Specialun


    He is massacring us.Sure didnt the price of a pint and the drop go up

    I cant see an army getting behind Enda Kenny for some reason. He is not exactly a leader. AS i said the only reason he got in there was because he was the only option. Kinda like Paul Blart Mall cop, with less charisma.

    The only thing he has done well was cover up the protests against him.

    With regards him getting Ireland out of the bail out. Yes it was under his leadership but none of it was his idea or guidance. He offered nothing but take take take from the people. Anybody could come up with that solution.
