Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

They will be very brief. This morning on Pat Kenny's radio programme the Minister for Transport said that people can make their own judgment. He said we can blame the Taoiseach for leading us into this - these are the words of the Minister for Transport.

The position is that the precedent by long convention in this House is that when a motion of no confidence is set down it is countered by a motion of confidence by the Government. I want to know from the Minister of State, Deputy Moloney, or the Tánaiste - whomever is representing the Government this morning - when it is intended to move a motion of confidence in the Taoiseach. I challenge the Government to move that motion today so that we can deal with it.
