Kenny was on Newstalk’s Breakfast with Claire and Ivan and got sucker punched on the issue of water charges.

Kenny was on a roll talking up Fine Gael’s successive opinion poll numbers until he was asked by a listener if he was in favour of water charges. After falling over his words, Kenny admitted that Fine Gael hasn’t a position on the reintroduction of water charges yet.

The water charges chatter comes about five minutes into this snippet from the show.
