DĂŠise Boy 2XU PDQ LV RQ WKH EDOO

0DNH \RXU YRLFHV KHDUG DW WKH EDOORW ER[ WRPRUURZ THE look on Enda’s face said it all.

On Monday the Taoiseach emerged stonyfaced from a building in Waterford’s Westgate business park anked by his handlers.

Inside, Enda had just given his spiel at the latest carefully orchestrated set piece on his General Election bandwagon.

Outside, a force of around two dozen uniformed gardai (including two Paddy wagons, four squad cars and two motorbike outriders) were on standby, ready to protect the Taoiseach from a tiny band of protestors who were vastly outnumbered by the boys in blue.

The demonstators, some elderly, were in high spirits, joking as they chanted the usual antiausterity slogans. ‘Enda Kenny in your ivory tower, this is what you call People Power ...’ They were a fairly harmless bunch, but their anger was genuine.

Anger at years of crippling austerity cuts, rising living costs and the growing divide between the haves and have nots in out society. Or as ďŹ esty Mooncoin resident Ann Purcell (70) put it: “We are here to tell Enda Kenny to give us back our country, one where our children and grandchildren can afford to make a living.â€?

Enda was in town to lend his support to local TD and Minister for State Paudie Coffey, because Paudie like up a third of his fellow Fine Gael deputies - face the prospect of losing their seats when the country goes to the polls tomorrow. You can tell

GRIM FACED: Enda is driven away from protesters in city from Enda and Paudie’s body language that they ďŹ nd it all a bit baffling.

After all their hard work turning the economy around - and they are never slow when it comes to taking the credit - how could the people be so ungrateful? Paudie is the most senior Coalition TD in the constituency, and Waterford’s best chance of having a senior minister in the next government. A rising star in the biggest party in the State, but now facing the prospect of being unceremoniously cast into political oblivion by his own. How did it all come to this?

Well, all those years of broken election promises (jobs, hospital services, University status) probably didn’t help.

But when it comes to grasping defeat from the jaws of victory, nobody does it quite like this Coalition. Fine Gael and Labour have had a disastrous General Election campaign, which has largely been conďŹ ned to attacking those (FF) feckers who got us into the mess in the ďŹ rst place, and

those evil (SF) fraudsters who’ll drag us back to the dark ages if they get in.

But their message is not getting through, and nowhere more so than in Waterford, where bookies now predict Sinn Fein’s David Cullinane is set to dramatically top the poll, while Minister Coffey faces losing his seat to local Fianna Fail councillor Mary Butler.

And it was written all over Enda’s face in Waterford this week as he was bundled into his car to avoid the tiny motley crew of protestors being kept at arms length by gardai.

Rather than confront, or even acknowledge the people, our Dear Leader jumped into the waiting BMW without even a smile or gesture as he was driven off to the next choreographed photo opportunity, as minor scuffles broke out between some protestors and gardai in his wake.

It was all fairly uninspiring stuff from the leader of our land.

And it was exactly the kind of stage-managed guff that has turned so many people off politics in this country. As we celebrate the centenary of the 1916 Rising, its enough to make those ancestors who died to give us the very freedom to vote turn in their graves. But with 18pc of the electorate still undecided, even the most cynical among us has a real chance to vent their anger where it matters most - at the ballot box.

Whatever your political persuasion, don’t miss this opportunity.

Make your vote count.

Album of the week

To Pimp a Butterfly

by Kendrick Lamar Californian musician Kendrick Lamarâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s third album combines elements of funk, spoken word poetry and jazz, and is described by Lamar as â&#x20AC;&#x153;honest, fearful and unapologeticâ&#x20AC;?. One of the most lyrically excellent albums of any genre in years, Lamar raps fluently on the subjects of social injustice, inequality, greed, religious philosophy, personal anxiety and more. Lamar switches up styles and tempos within an intricate mesh of free-flowing jazz, seventies funk and hip hop.

While conducting an autopsy on former NFL football player Mike Webster (David Morse), forensic pathologist Dr. Bennet Omalu (Will Smith) discovers neurological deterioration that is similar to Alzheimerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s disease. Omalu names the disorder chronic traumatic encephalopathy and publishes his findings in a medical journal. As other athletes face the same diagnosis, the crusading doctor embarks on a mission to raise awareness about football-related head trauma.

Book of the week

The Buried Giant

The Buried Giant begins as a couple set off across a troubled land of mist and rain in the hope of finding a son they have not seen in years. Sometimes savage, often intensely moving, Kazuo Ishiguroâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s first novel in a decade is about lost memories, love, revenge and war.

App of the week

Habitica (free) To-do lists are all well and good, but itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s easy to spend a couple of days creating them and then fail to tick anything off. Habitica changes good intentions into actions by turning it into a game. Cleaning the kitchen never sounds like something youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;d leap out of bed to do, but when that unlocks achievements and improves your virtual character rating in the process it suddenly sounds more appealing.
