Enda Kenny (Mayo, Fine Gael)

I met representatives of all the churches and bodies together and had that discussion with them. I met the Archbishop of Dublin and representatives of the Church of Ireland. I have had occasion to meet others but not in formal session. I pointed out to the Deputy in my reply that the vast majority of my time, and that of the Government as a whole, is taken up dealing with the economic crisis. The discussions have continued at official level. When I get an opportunity - by June, I hope - we can resume formally the discussions with the churches, faith organisations and non-confessional bodies.
