Poll: How do you rate Enda Kenny's performance so far?

It’s the end of the Taoiseach’s first Dáil term – is he taking Ireland in the right direction?

THE FINAL WEEK of the Dáil term was a big one for Taoiseach Enda Kenny. He secured a long-awaited reduction on Ireland’s bailout interest rate at the Eurozone summit, as well as launching a stinging attack on the Vatican over its handling of child abuse allegations.

The actions drew widespread praise for Mr Kenny even across the opposition benches, and a poll put his popularity at an all-time high. However, they come hot on the heels of angry protests over the closure of Roscommon hospital emergency department, which sparked the first backbench rebellion of the Fine Gael/Labour government. There has also been public anger over cuts to Special Needs teaching posts and rural school transport services.

So at the end of the government’s first Dáil term, we’re asking: How do you rate Enda Kenny’s performance in office so far?
