Tom Kitt and Mary Hanafin on Pat Kenny

[kerrynorth]

Coming up now.

[FakeViking]

Kitt has Quit!!!

[RobB]

Did Tomm Kitt give a reason for his departure? I know we all know why but did he mention Cowen or say why he refused the junior ministry? What did Mary Hanafin have to say? Is she saying she is happy with social and family affairs?

Both delighted with the outcome, new challenges ahead etc etc. No hard feelings towards Taoiseach Cowen, wishing his well etc..
What would you expect them to say?

Well I knew Mary Hanafin would say that but why exactly does Tom Kitt say he is retiring and why announce it now? Surely he had to admitt he was pissed off with Cowen not promoting him?

No he was magnanimity to his fingertips.

Nothing in his political career became him like the leaving of it.
