You'd think the leader of our country would have the 'cojones' to stand up and debate the pros and cons of a treaty which he is putting before the country - but no, Enda's still hiding.
The Taoiseach has been invited no less than four times to debate the Fiscal Treaty with other party leaders on the national airwaves. Each time he has come up with a feeble excuse to get out of it. With TV3 it was his hatred of Vincent Browne, but what's his reason dodge RTÉ's invitation?
Enda claims he wasn't told about the national broadcaster's invitation. Actually his press secretary did too, until he quickly backtracked and admitted they had.
Even though he is flatly refusing to debate the treaty, Enda's spokesperson claims the Taoiseach is: "playing a leading and active role in informing people about the stability treaty".
However, before you get worried that Enda will only address private functions, he has confirmed a state of the nation-style address on Sunday. The purpose of the broadcast? Basically he wants to contradict everything the Sinn Féin leader, Gerry Adams, will have said in his Ard Fheis speech the night before.
So he can debate with Adams, just once there's a 24-hour delay between what they say.
