Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: That is not the way it should be. The situation that has blown up in the faces of hundreds and thousands of people arises in the context of a situation where we were told on many occasions that our banks were the best capitalised in the world. Yet a High Court judge said yesterday he was astonished at the laxity of approval of loans including one for €550 million. As leader of the...

Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach was involved in making policy decisions that in part have resulted in so many people facing negative equity, unable to pay their mortgages and being completely screwed by the banks when they seek credit. The Taoiseach must insist, in everybody's interest, that our Parliament may inquire with proper accountability, transparency and effectiveness into the regulatory and policy...

Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: That approach has been deemed by the public to be a self-protection racket. The Taoiseach should not be afraid of the truth. He has said on many occasions that he stands over every decision he has made. Now is the time to prove it by working with the Opposition parties to establish an inquiry that is open, accountable and transparent and which will deliver in the public interest.

Order of Business (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Ceann Comhairle is in a state of shock that the proposals were agreed. Well done. It is a new year's resolution. One of the first acts of the so-called rainbow Government of 1994-97 was to make an exceptional fund available for the repair of county roads. What we witnessed on yesterday's "Six One" news and the reports from all over the country require that some emergency Government...

Banking Crisis: Statements (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am sure I speak on behalf of all Members in welcoming the Minister back to the House. I wish him every success in his personal challenge. I apologise to the House for the absence of Deputy Bruton but he had undertaken to fulfil an engagement in County Cork today some time ago and he agreed to do so. We are having this debate arising from a realisation by the Government that there should...

Independent Members. (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: What is the cost of the commitments to the Independent Deputies for 2010? Far be it from me to interfere with the arrangements Deputy Healy-Rae has with the Government, but is this the same hospital in Kenmare for which he secured a commitment ten years ago?

Innovation Task Force. (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: I welcome the Taoiseach back to the House. On 18 December 2008, the Government published Ireland's framework for sustainable economic renewal. That document, although launched with great fanfare, was merely a rehash of a several programmes which were already in place with the notable addition of an innovation fund of €500 million. The document refused to make any of the difficult...

Innovation Task Force. (19 Jan 2010)

Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach confirm how much has been committed or promised from private venture sources in respect of moneys for innovation? The task force on innovation was set up with a six-month remit, which is due to expire at the end of January. If we are to receive a report, it must be produced by the end of the month or else the lifetime of the committee must be extended. Which is the case?...
