Ministerial Staff (29 Mar 2011)

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...on the Irish people by bad Government. Our banking and economic crisis is one whose origin lies in catastrophic policy mistakes. It is the legacy of the "when we have it we spend it" approach to managing the economy of the Taoiseach, Deputy Brian Cowen, when he was Minister for Finance and of his policy of blank cheques for zombie banks over the past two years. The Fine Gael view is very...

Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: Yesterday, the Taoiseach walked into the Chamber and plundered the public service income position to pay for the wanton waste of Fianna Fáil's management of the economy over the past ten years. In my view, it was to a disproportionate and unfair extent. His contribution yesterday said precious little about the situation for persons on the live register. We will be in the House when the...

Expenditure Control and Economic Strategy: Statements (3 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: .... Legitimate recovery cannot be just about dishing out pain to public servants without making decisions that begin with what has been described as a revolution in the way public services are managed from the top down.

The Economy: Statements (28 Jan 2009)

Enda Kenny: ...energy from Ireland within ten years. We are facing an economic crisis of frightening proportions.

Financial Resolution No. 15: (General) Resumed (15 Oct 2008)

The recent Comptroller and Auditor General's report highlighted the ludicrous extent of waste in the HSE, the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform and a range of other Departments, but the Government did nothing about that. Yesterday's response regarding the HSE and the...

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2008)

Enda Kenny: ...ill thought out fashion since the half-yearly figures were produced by the Department of Finance last week. This is not about a fiscal crisis for the country; it is the consequence of economic mismanagement by a Government which has proven itself to be probably the worst Administration of the past 50 years.

Leaders' Questions (25 Jun 2008)

Enda Kenny: One thing we can be sure of is that the stamp of Fianna Fáil's failure in Government over the past ten years has been an obscene waste of public money.

The Minister for Finance, Deputy Brian Lenihan, responded to this by saying we must take prudent, transparent and immediate action, as distinct from...
