Political Views
Kenny supported Miriam O'Callaghan when she came under fire from Sinn Féin over the way she handled a Prime Time debate with Martin McGuinness during the 2011 presidential election campaign. O'Callaghan was correct to challenge McGuinness about his past misdeeds, he said "I wouldn't criticise Miriam for doing what she did".
Kenny was also critical of Seán Gallagher after the presidential candidate objected to a tweet Kenny read out on The Frontline days before the 2011 election. Kenny told Gallagher to get over Tweetgate and get back to what he was "supposed to be good at" -- creating jobs, and said he was "judged by the public not to be worthy."
