Nomination of Members of the Government: Motion (23 Mar 2010)

Nomination of Members of the Government: Motion (23 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: He should let the people cast their mandate on the various teams offering a new prospectus to run this country. Instead, he wants his Government to stay in office for as long as possible.
