'Leader of all the Paddies' Enda Kenny is out of touch, says FF Senator Byrne

Fianna Fáil has ruled out propping up Fine Gael, and said it was aiming to get the Coalition out of office.

Ex Justice Minister Dermot Ahern has suggested that his former party might support Fine Gael on key issues.

But this afternoon, Fianna Fáil's finance spokesman Michael McGrath and Senator Thomas Byrne ruled that out completely.

Senator Byrne (pictured) went on to attack Enda Kenny's capability to answer questions on the economy.

"Five years ago, Enda Kenny told the people of Ireland that 'Paddy likes to know'. Now he's saying that Paddy can’t know. The leader of all the Paddies is Enda Kenny, and he doesn’t know," he said.

"He's out of touch and I believe he'll be out of office."
