i am, first and foremost, an irish republican. this means that i want my country to do well no matter who's in charge. i have serious concerns about deputy kenny's policies, and i sincerely do not believe we have seen a program for government which is capable of addressing the serious issues facing our country. however, i wish him well, and i sincerely hope that he will be successful as leader. thank you. >> deputy akin. >> i oppose the nomination of deputy enda kenny as leader of the fine gael/labour party coalition government. the very first sentence of the program for government states that a democratic revolution took place in ireland on the 25th of february. the oxford dictionary defines revolution as the overthrow of a government or social order in favor of a new system. that being the case, then the program presented by deputy kenny is a grotesque betrayal of that revolution because it proposes almost to the letter to continue the reactionary program of the old order of the late and unlamented regime of the green party, a r
