National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Enda Kenny: I want to ask the Taoiseach a number of questions about the National Archives of Ireland. Some Departments are slow enough to send their material to the National Archives, principal among which was the Department of Education and Science, although I believe it has improved somewhat. It is a national embarrassment that the staff of the National Archives of Ireland, despite their first-class...

National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Enda Kenny: In finding a more suitable or appropriate location or a solution to the problem, the Taoiseach will have the support of the Fine Gael Party. I feel strongly that the National Archives are the history of our country and of our people and his Government and any succeeding Government should make arrangements to ensure these are properly exhibited and preserved, and that the facilities are made...

National Archives. (4 Mar 2008)

Enda Kenny: She has been around a little longer than the Taoiseach and I know that other members of the British royal family come here on a regular basis. Would that invitation, if it was to be extended, be as a result of a Cabinet decision or on the basis of an invitation from the President? Does the Cabinet make the decision to extend an invitation or does it come from Áras an Uachtaráin?

Order of Business (28 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: Perhaps the Tánaiste would ask the Taoiseach, who is meeting with the Polish Prime Minister, Mr. Donald Tusk, to express our sympathy to the Polish people on the death of the two young Polish men, Pawel Kalite and Marius Szwajkos, who were victims of an unfortunate and savage attack in Drimnagh. This shames us all. I ask the Tánaiste to communicate the sympathy of the Irish people to the...

Order of Business (28 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: Perhaps the Tánaiste will confirm the position with the Bill I mentioned. Yesterday he said the Bill was not on the legislative programme but today he says it will be taken this year. Which is correct? Is the Bill on the legislative programme? Yesterday he said it was dropped. If it is back on the programme, it might have been better if the Tánaiste had said as much before being asked.

Order of Business (28 Feb 2008)

At the end, it emerged the Minister for Health and Children gave an instruction to the HSE to get on with the implementation of her proposals for 1 March. Two proposals were voted on by the committee, one tabled by the Labour...
