Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

The people will have a number of choices. They can vote for the Fianna Fáil Party that has devastated the economy, undermined the Republic and cast away our economic independence, the party which, egged on by its former allies, introduced all of the worst excesses of the free market to Ireland. Alternatively, they can vote for parties of the left, which have committed in some cases to massive tax increases but have not yet spelled out the details of their plans for the way ahead, or they can vote for my party whose plan to rebuild the country rejects simplistic notions on a political spectrum of right and left, a party whose only allegiance is to the people and which is not tied, either to big business-----
