Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I understand the Taoiseach is attending the economic conference in Northern Ireland. I was going to comment to the effect that it would have been desperate if the President had not accepted any of the nominations he put forward. Will the Taoiseach say whether the House is to be graced with his presence on Thursday mornings? We should like to see a change given that the House has a new Taoiseach, a new system and a new Leader.
