Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

Hold on, a Cheann Comhairle. The person I am referring to was elected as the Taoiseach of this country on three occasions, an honour that is almost unique. He is still in receipt of public moneys for his service as a public representative. Does the Taoiseach believe, in respect of the code of conduct for current and former office-holders, that to have this apparition on the national television screens in what appeared to be a cupboard is conduct becoming? Did Deputy Ahern consult with the Taoiseach before he did something like this? It brings the Taoiseach's office into disrepute.
