FINE GAEL MINISTER Richard Bruton has said he has confidence in Enda Kenny as the party looks set to suffer heavy seat losses in the general election.
The Jobs Minister was responding to the exit polls which indicate Fine Gael could be on course to lose over 20 seats.
After what has undoubtedly been a bad day for the senior coalition partier, the result is likely to raise fresh questions about Kenny’s 14-year leadership of he party.
Privately, some Fine Gael TDs are already suggesting today that Kenny will have to go if the final result is as bad as the exit polls suggest.
Bruton, who tried to oust Kenny six years ago, insisted at the RDS in Dublin that the Taoiseach has done a “tremendous job” in government:
“I have confidence in Enda. Enda did a tremendous job in government and I, as minister for jobs, know the effort he put in to help this economy rebuild its economic base and we now have a solid economic foundation.
He added: “The economy is still crucial to this economy. I think Enda’s record in rebuilding this economy is something that people, when they reflect on this, will see as being an extraordinary achievement.”
One Fine Gael TD told TheJournal.ie this morning that Kenny would probably resign if the result matched the exit polls.
Asked about the possibility of a Fine Gael/Fianna Fáil government Bruton said there needed to be “a bit of time for reflection” but appeared to rule out a second election.
Asked why Fine Gael had a bad election, Bruton said: “I think it’s very difficult for a government that spent three years running a bankrupt economy, imposing hardship on people.
“It’s very hard to then turn around to people who are still smarting and say: ‘Things are going really well and if you stick with us we can make it happen for you.’ That’s a hard message to sell.”

How To Uninstall McAfee Antivirus
Haha that’s some of the maddest shizzle I ever did see..I love him!
It’s a real killer though.
Nothing will put me off purchasing a new laptop / desktop than the sales guy saying “and it comes with anti virus software pre-installed”
not difficult to uninstall, don’t let that put you off.
Bought 3 laptops in my time. First thing i did with them was a full format. Lots of manufacturers crap comes with one. Background running memory eating crap.
Seems like the man himself is a virus
Such wit hiding behind that beard. Who’d have guessed?
I thank McAfee because they are the best at putting viruses on my computer and then even better at protecting me from that same virus ..
Ever notice how your computer always got infected just before your subscription was up ?
Same with norton, I have no virus protection on my comp and heyyyyyy gues what no viruses. Companys cteate them to get then to buy their bullshit
That’s just such bullshit, Dave! Too many AVP’s are resource heavy but very few are designed with any sort of malicious intent, esp the popular ones!
Too may people becoming stupidly cynical about these things. There are literal craptonnes of dedicated and independent communities that test, monitor and disassemble AV softwares in order to find out their true efficacy. And nobody has yet proven it to be true for the biggest players, barring Norton a few years ago with the whole ‘PIFTS.exe’ thing; when they attempted to censor people who found potentially dangerous flaws in the software.
Complacency is by far the most dangerous thing when it comes to security, be it online or personal, You may not require any third party protection, but for every one of you there are a hundred that really do, and if they decide to go without it then no matter how careful *you* are; you’ll be subjected to the inadequacies in and lackadaisical ‘use’ of resources by others.
He’s the sort of crazy SOB I’d want associated with my company
So who is more excited with the name change?
He killed his neighbour? That’s real cyber crime
Belize is in Central America.
Isn’t that where Mike went on ‘vacation’ in Breaking Bad?!!!
His comments are a bit harsh. Symantec is the worst software on the planet. McAfee only gets silver.
Check out YouTube video I posted here, it’s very funny. It’s not a vid on how to uninstall, it’s mcafee himself taking the pi#s
Watched it, it’s hilarious!!
That McAfee antivirus kills anything that gets in its way…..
He is really chuck norris stupid evil twin
McAfee ? anti virus ? What are these of which you speak…..
I laughed so much at his spectacular comment! Brilliant!
They’d wanna do more than just change the name
Now that’s what you call a well lived in face if ever I saw one.
You’d think he could afford better highlights too.
have your say
