TAOISEACH ENDA Kenny has rejected charges that Ireland will need a second European Union/International Monetary Fund bailout because of fears that falling growth rates will threaten Ireland’s recovery.
During a day in London, Mr Kenny relentlessly drove home a positive message about Ireland’s future, but specifically moved to dismiss Citigroup’s chief economist Willem Buiter’s warning that Ireland should have a bailout “on stand-by”.
“We are in a programme, the programme lasts for the next two years. We are meeting all of the targets and all of our commitments,” Mr Kenny said, adding immediately afterwards, “I do not share the view at all in regard to a second bailout.”
Well, that’s OK then, isn’t it?
