Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Ó thaobh shábháilt airgid de, sílim gur maith an rud é seo. Beidh an t-Aire Stáit ag teacht isteach leis an mBille agus beidh díospóireacht ann faoi.

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Tá a fhios agam go mbíonn muintir na Gaeltachta agus muintir gach uile áit eile ar buile faoi nithe de shaghas éigin an t-am ar fad. Bím féin ag caint leo go minic faoi sin. Maidin amárach, ó thaobh seachtain na Gaeilge agus lá na Gaeilge de, tá Gaeilge mhaith ag an Teachta Martin agus ag an Teachta Adams, cé nach dtuigim gach uile fhocal a labhraíonn an Teachta Adams, leis an...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Beidh ceisteanna as Gaeilge. Más mian le Teachtaí go gcaithfear níos mó ama ar an díospóireacht déanfar sin gan deacracht ar bith. The Government has made a collective decision on the sale of State assets. The Minister, Deputy Howlin, will speak with coherence-----

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Tá a fhios agam go ndéanann an Teachta Adams tréan iarracht Gaeilge a labhairt anseo gach seachtain. Tacaím go mór le sin. Anois is arís ní thuigim go díreach céard atá i gceist aige, leis an chanúint faoi leith atá aige.

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Sin an sort Gaeilge atá aige. Gaeilge an iarthair atá agam agus Gaeilge na Mumhan atá ag an Teachta Martin. Bliain ó shin bhí díospóireacht as Gaeilge idir cheannairí na bpáirtithe, agus ba mhaith an rud é sin. Níl an Tánaiste anseo faoi láthair, ach bhí díospóireacht iontach idir an cheathrar againn. B'shin an chéad uair ariamh a tharla sé sin. Ba mhaith an rud é....

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: The fiscal responsibility Bill is something the Minister for Finance will bring forward in respect of the issues in the stability treaty that need to be put into legal effect. The Minister is working on this and it will be produced in the reasonably near future; I cannot give a specific date but work is under way. I do not have a date for the Deputy in respect of the European Communities Act...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: In respect of the final comment there are European requirements with regard to tenders as the Deputy knows, as contracts over a certain amount must go to European tender. The contractors Bill of which the Deputy speaks is important. It has been approved by Government. I understand the Whip is making arrangements to bring it before the House before the end of the month.

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: I do not intend to publish the formal legal advice of the Attorney General except to say she advised the Government formally that, on balance, in consideration of the wording of the fiscal stability treaty, she considers that for it to be ratified, the people must be asked and a referendum must be held. I have been very clear all along that if the advice of the Attorney General was that a...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: To be honest, I cannot put a conclusion time on it because I do not control the attitude that might be taken by the governors of the other eurozone central banks. The Deputy is well aware that some countries take the view that others should be encouraged and helped. That is part of what the foundation of the European Union was about. People in other countries who are coming from a certain...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: I can confirm that discussions are continuing between officials at European level. However, I am not in a position to say a deal is on the table or that it will be defined by a certain date. Nobody should run away with the view that we have heightened the expectation that a "big bank solution", as some call it, will be reached. Ireland's economic problems are much more complex and much...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Cuireann sé isteach go mór orm go bhfuil gá go mbeadh cúrsaí dlíthúil le leanúint dóibh siúd a cuireadh isteach orthu go mór de bharr na tragóide seo. Tá a fhios ag an Teachta, mar a dúirt mé cheana, go bhfuil an tArd-Aighne ag féachaint ar an deachracht atá ann faoi láthair, os rud é nár éirigh leis an Rialtas cruthú a fháil san reifreann a bhí ann ó thaobh...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: I share the Deputy's view that this is a horrendous situation. I commend the whistleblower who brought forward this information in the first instance. I really empathise and sympathise with those who are the victims in this case. However, I do not want to stand up here and announce inquiries like that. I ask the Deputy to bear with me while the Office of the Attorney General provides me...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: Yes, but I have not got the advice, as the Deputy knows.

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: This is not just a matter for the Minister for Finance. This is a matter for every person in the country. This is not an issue that is confined to any one party or to any one Minister. This is an issue for the Irish people. It is a separate matter from a European Union treaty in that Ireland does not have the power of veto. It is not a case of saying I am going to vote "No" because it...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)
