Former taoiseach underwent procedure to combat disease before Christmas but is now in ‘robust good health’
The precise nature of the cancer has not been disclosed but Mr Kenny has confirmed he is in recovery.“Thankfully he is in robust good health besides and is well on the road to a full recovery.”
The government led by Mr Kenny has been credited with kick-starting Ireland’s economic recovery after the 2008 financial crisis though critics have highlighted the impact of austerity policies on Irish society.It was his government that in 2015 oversaw the successful marriage equality referendum. In 2021 Mr Kenny made an Irish language documentary for RTÉ entitled Iarnród Enda - which involved him cycling along old railway lines - and was described by the broadcaster as “a celebration of people, landscape and belonging”.
Earlier this month, The Irish Times reported that the US-Ireland Partnership for Growth - an organisation whose advisory board Mr Kenny chairs - will be facilitating a visit of senior US congressional staff to Ireland in the autumn.
