ENDA KENNY’S TELEVISED address to the nation tonight marked Ireland’s official exit from the eurozone bailout programme.

In the brief five minute speech, the Taoiseach spoke about the difficult actions taken by the Government and said he believed there were grounds for optimism about Ireland’s economy.

This word cloud shows the most commonly used words in his address, with ‘people’, jobs’, ‘Ireland’ and ‘plan’ dominating.
