About two years-ago when Enda was travelling around the country trying to build up the party support again, which I suppose you could argue he did. There was a meeting of the party faithful in the function room at the back of the foxhunter in lucan. We were drinking as usual in the snug at the back of the lounge when all the grassroots started coming in after the meeting and you could see how happy they were to have the party leader with them. After they were all seated and chuffed with themselves to have the great man come in to have a drink with them, he stuck his head into the snug and stayed there with us for the next two hours getting pissed while all his gang were outside without their leader. By the end of the night he was swaying on his stool and singing like some aul local in a pub in the back-of-beyond. And all I could think to myself was this guy wants to be Taoiseach! You wouldn't see Bertie doing that. He just quietly sips his pint of bass in the corner in fagans..
It all came back to me when I saw Enda singing "Oh what a beautiful morning" in a pub durning the campaign..
Funny it all seemed to go downhill for him after that..
I wonder why??
