Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

As the Taoiseach's speech has not been circulated, as was supposed to happen, it is difficult to take a 15-minute contribution and understand the nuances of what has been a very carefully choreographed piece of programming from the Progressive Democrats and Fianna Fáil. This is a bad day for accountability, the body politic and the Progressive Democrats. It is a good day for cynicism and hypocrisy.
