Micheal’s statement on Kenny’s Debate Decision
Last updated on 04 Feb, 2011
Summary:
I am frankly amazed by the behaviour of Enda Kenny in relation my call for a series of meaningful debates between party leaders. After nine days of a constantly changing series of excuses he has now withdrawn from next week’s first debate.
As a leader of government you have to be able to deal with tough negotiations in many forums. Talking to former paramilitaries about peace, with other countries about treaties or multinational executives about investments – you have to face much tougher situations than a debate moderated by Vincent Browne.
I look forward to debating Eamon Gilmore and I believe we will have a constructive exchange about the future of our country.
