From Enda Kenny’s weekly email to FG members tonight

I know the Irish people are weary. They have been lead down a path of despair and desolation in recent years that was not of their own making. 

I am acutely aware of the untold and unjustified suffering so many have endured, and continue to endure, through absolutely no fault of their own.

I am also aware of the genuine frustration felt by many at being kept in the dark on issues of national importance by the previous Government. This will no longer be the case. 

We will not be able to rectify the mistakes of the past overnight, but I promise you one thing now, and that is that I will lead the most open and hardworking Government in the history of this State, a Government acting with urgency and a sense of responsibility, always keeping the interests of the Irish people at its heart.
