    Enda Kenny with his hands in someone else’s pockets would have been a more appropriate photo.

    “Together we will help people rebuild”

    Like you helped the health service?

    Like you helped childhood poverty?

    Like you helped the homeless?

    Like you helped our kids and grandkids by putting 40 years worth of banker debt on their shoulders?

    No thanks enda, I don’t think we can handle another 5 years of your brand of ‘help’.
