He never had them to begin with.
I made the point on a thread a month or two ago that the man seems to be incapable of stringing two sentences together without the aid of a script.
I see tonight on the VB show that a Journalist has the made the same point, he said if people are still wondering why Enda dose not debate or go on live TV interviews such as about the last EU referendum etc , they have their answer today because that is the way he always speaks without a prepared script.
He also made the point again about Enda answering practicly every question in the Dail with a snide remark about the person who is asking it and never gives an Answer on the subject asked unless it is scripted in front of him.

That is a fairly scenic way of answering a question...

I am afraid even worse than Dubya.
I was reading an article a while ago about how it a bit of a running joke around Leinster house how this guy became Taoiseach.
He is was always known as bit dim even by his friends but he came from a very good FG family so he was always going to be elected and progress so far , but no one in their wildest dreams ever thought he would make to the top.
He is totally controlled by those around him such as Big Phil was was the one who masterminded his leadership challenge, without his handlers Enda is lost in even the most simple tasks.

Jesus that's hard to watch-when the 2 of them turn to face each other and start leaning on the podiums I thought they were about to break into song. For anybody who still wonders, go meet your local TD. People with integrity, intelligence and decency do not enter the world of politics-charlatans, spoofers, gombeens and chancers do. Until that changes our only hope is to pick the best of a bad bunch and hope they get it at least half right.
I've never liked Kenny and still don't but I voted FG in the last election just to lance the septic boil of FF. I just hoped that there is somebody more capable advising him and I think he's less corrupt than the Failures-only time will tell I suppose.

It must be a few years I suppose since I last seen him being interviewed or make a speech. I was never impressed by him at all. He got the nod on the ff backlash no doubt. As long as he doesn't hang a Mission Accomplished Banner, eh?

Oh dear God, that was embarrassing. Definitely as bad as Dubya. I read the whole thread first & was expecting it to be bad but it was shocking altogether. Just complete & utter tripe as an answer.
On a side note, the reporter finishes it by saying that the coalition is showing cracks but I don't really see any basis for that remark. Basically Gilmore was ratty because everyone else knew & he didn't. I'd imagine there will be a press release apologizing for the "communication malfunction" or some other ridiculous term for it & he'll be kept informed from now on.

A real Donald Rumsfeld moment this was. Cringeworthy stuff altogether. And we think that this man is going to tackle the ECB on our behalf and negotiate a better deal? Without soundbites he is useless. But as for Stickie Gilmore........Jesus wept.

Lads, I've said this many times but the Dáil is actually full of blustering buffoons. That's not a gratuitous insult, it's an observation based on 10-15 years closely watching politics. There are prime examples but unfortunately not isolated examples in every party. I could list off too many more. Nothing proves this better than the fact that we appear to have gotten to the stage where being articulate is seen as a some kind of advantage rather than an absolute necessity.
Irish people have stomached so many complete fvcking cretins over the years that we actually feel grateful when one comes along that can actually speak!
It'd be far easier to list those who can string a few words together without sounding like an extra from some 1940s British parody of the Oirish

Unbelievable stuff. If you could just edit those 20 cringe-inducing seconds into a short youtube clip, it would go viral. The 'who is this numpty' look on Gilmore's face is priceless

This reminds of that episode of 'cheers' when as a challenge to the numpty candidates running in the local boston council elections, frasier decided to run Woody as a fellow candidate. When woody actually won to become mayor,frasier gruntled 'what started out as a small joke,turns into a massive one'.
Prophetic indeed.

Jazus! If the Apres match lads came out with this in one of their spoofs people would think they were too far fetched!
With a dingbat like that as taoiseach no wonder the country is in a state of chassis!

Take a good look at Bertie in action
Bertie Ahern Idiot
By the way thats the name of the video on youtube. Kenny did not BANKRUPT the country anyway what ever else about him. FF did that. Cusack Park you need to shout it from the roof tops.Dont ever forget it. No fear that you will admit though.
Interesting how smart remarks are made about Bushe but none about Obama-Mr Teleprompter.
Now look at this before you ridicule Bush again. This is not to defend Bush either
Obama Claims He's Visited 57 States
Obama's funniest bloopers!
We can also criticise Brian Cowen and others if we want to.
