How many times has MM used that soundbite about, ahh, not using any soundbites, in the last 10 days?

EKRIUQ

LOL at Enda, keeping quiet and pointing out to Martin it was the other fella.

dsmythy

Enda going to show what he lacks in personal skills he makes up for in writing skills.

deanh

Enda Kenny drew the centre spot. As body language experts confirm, the others have to defer to him. Mehole already confused, called Eamon, Enda.

turnfan

Even more boring than usual.

MM is very quick to say "you're wrong"...

efb

Enda- it was him Sir!!!! Pointing the pen at Eamon Gilmore!

Palimpsest

"intelligent diplomacy" from FF oh blast Enda has just picked up on it

bogwalrus

RandolphEsq

Good jab by Enda there at MM stressing that he was part of the government that denied the IMF were coming in to Ireland

LuckyGent88

Enda Got a nice dig in there.

You cannot fool a spoofer like the almost reinvented Martin.

efb

Did Enda forget his lines!!?

lempsipmax

Enda levels of concentration when speaking is impressive

Dave!

Enda Kenny has mates in Europe, that's Taoiseach material right there!

Lame Lantern

Somebody taught Enda the words "solvency" and "liquidity."

He has a five-point plan...

Enda is nervous. When he went to Berlin, he clearly met Angela Merkel in her CDU party's own building, the CDU HQ, not a German state building. Not a visit to Merkel as head of state, but Merkel, head of a sister political party.

i think it makes him sound very slow to be honest, both gilmore and martin are far batter speakers

what did kenny say about firesales and blank cheques?

GSF

Enda got a nice kick in the nuts into FF there re the intelligent diplomacy and lying about the IMF arrival.

SnowY32

A 5-point plan???!!

Wildlife Actor

If you lived in a teapot for the last 3 years you'd nearly believe MM

RandolphEsq

Enda asking Gilmore where he will get the extra money, will Gilmore say he will renegotiate Croke Park Agreement?

telekon

Pleasantly surprised with Enda's performance tonight. Much better than last night...

MM calling someone "fundamentally dishonest"? :rolleyes:

Angry mickey Martin showing his true colours tonight. I remember him on Cork 96Fm years ago while minister for health. Very very aggressive.

Angry man, very angry man.

wolfyboy555

too low

cornbb

Also take a drink every time MM says "I don't accept that"...

Whatever about Enda sounding like a broken record with the 5 point plan, I think that strategy is working for him. He's trying to hammer home the point that FG will take concrete steps to solve problems (or at least claim they will). I think this partially accounts for why they are doing so well in the polls. Whereas Gilmore's plans come across as hazy and Martin comes across as saying "sorry lads, but its gonna be business as usual".

Micheál Martin can't get any point across if he can't speak for more than 40 seconds or so.

Laminations

Martin has said that the interest rate for the EU/IMF deal was not negotiated, that it was set in stone far before Ireland was approached. How then, or at least why then, did we have speculation from economists like Brian Lucey, David McWilliams, Paul Somerville on Vincent Browne at the time about what rate would be a good deal? Why did we have threads on boards discussing the likelihood of various rates. Why did the government at the time pretend they were negotiating the interest rates??

I smell lies

LuckyGent88

no way could i deal with Gilmore's stare if i was talking. It would freak me out completely.
How can any FF member accuse someone else of being dishonest....MM must be having a laugh surely. :rolleyes:

Enda is an empty suit.

telekon

Having seen the polls, Gilmore's gone back to attacking FF instead.

Good move Eamonn.

cozar

how did Enda end up seated in the middle again!
