Why have mobile screening units not been provided throughout the west and north west? There...

Tribunals of Inquiry. (27 Mar 2007)

Enda Kenny: Did I ask a question yet? I made the point that the Taoiseach, Deputy Bertie Ahern, had said in his contribution on the Moriarty tribunal that his practice, when he was a Minister and involved at administrative level for the Fianna Fáil Party, of signing blank cheques was undesirable. That is what the Ceann Comhairle pulled me up on. Maybe after last weekend——

Tribunals of Inquiry. (27 Mar 2007)

Enda Kenny: I had asked the Taoiseach on the procedure to be followed by persons who might wish to acquire papers from the tribunal that were used in the course of drawing up the report.

Tribunals of Inquiry. (27 Mar 2007)
