Fionn interviews Enda Kenny, an Irish politician who has been Taoiseach since March 2011 and leader of Fine Gael since 2002. He is a two-term Vice-President of the European People's Party and was Ireland's Minister for Tourism and Trade from 1994 to 1997.
Kenny has been a Teachta Dála (TD) for Mayo since 1975, having succeeded his father Henry Kenny. He is the longest-serving TD currently in Dáil Éireann, which makes him the incumbent Father of the Dáil.
Kenny led Fine Gael ahead of the 2011 general election. He subsequently brokered an agreement with the Labour Party and formed a coalition government on 9 March 2011. He is Fine Gael's first Taoiseach since John Bruton from 1994 to 1997, and the first Fine Gael leader to win government in an election since Garret FitzGerald in 1982.
Recorded at A Nation’s Voice, a performance by the RTE orchestra and 1,100 person choir commemorating the centenary of the 1916 Rising, at Collins Barracks, Dublin, March 2016.
