Enda

As he reaches the twilight of his long political career, this major new two-part documentary series goes behind the headlines to examine the enigma that is Enda Kenny, charting the remarkable rise and fall, and rise again, of Fine Gael's first leader to win successive terms as Taoiseach. Enda Kenny led his party and the country through the greatest economic crisis in its history but suffered a bruising defeat in the 2016 General Election and then bounced back to lead an unprecedented minority administration. A new documentary series tells the remarkable story of his rise from obscure Mayo TD to national leader in a time of crisis. Dismissed as a lightweight by his opponents, hailed by his allies as a man of steel, Kenny is the Taoiseach that few people can claim to really know. Presented by Pat Leahy, the series includes revealing contributions from Enda Kenny's closest associates, cabinet ministers - present and past - and his political rivals.
