Kenny and Burke at Odds over Lisbon Date

[Rocky7]

I know these two are not exactly best buddies and Kenny doesn't rate Burke, but you'd think that someone would co-ordinate their press statements so that they don't 100% contradict one another.

Burke:
'Speaking prior to the selection convention, the Ireland South MEP Colm Burke urged the Government to hold an April ballot on the Lisbon Treaty and not to wait until later in the year'.

Kenny:
'Fine Gael leader Enda Kenny has said holding a second Lisbon Treaty referendum on the same day as the European Parliament elections in June would be a "serious mistake" and he called on the Government to confirm its original indication that the ballot will be held in October'.

They obviously don't talk anymore!!

Kenny doesn't rate Burke(

I can't think of a more damning inditment.

It would be like Brendan O'Connor calling you a poor writer.

My reaction to the thread title was "Who?" Burke

Hopefully in 5 years we'll be saying "Who?" Kenny

Maybe in five years you both will be glad Kenny got this country out of the mess Ahern and Cowen got it into.

A cynic is what an idealist calls a realist.
