From top: Sunday Business Post at the weekend; Taoiseach Enda Kenny with Paypal Ireland boss Louise Phelan at the Paypal HQ in Dundalk, Co. Louth earlier today

In the Sunday Business Post at the weekend, in an article by journalists Pat Leahy and Michael Brennan, a “key government strategist” was quoted as saying: “We’ll scare the shit out of them [the electorate] for the last ten days.”

Further to this…

Fiach Kelly, in the Irish Times, reports:

Taoiseach Enda Kenny has claimed there could be a “flight” of jobs and capital from Ireland if some alternatives to the Fine Gael-Labour coalition are elected to government…

“There are alternatives, but there are consequences to the alternatives,” he said.

“I do not want to see the flight from this country of either capital or jobs or lack of investment coming in here. And what you see is difficulties in other countries. Greece is back in recession, Spain hasn’t been able to form a government and there are rising interest rates in Portugal. We’re in a very much stronger position than we were. We still have some distance to travel and there are still many challenges out there.”

“That’s a choice for the people and I think they will reflect on that very carefully in the next seven to ten days. They decide what direction our country goes: forwards or backwards.”
