Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has gone out of his way to defend the Minister's record. The problem is that during the past ten years none of those over there on the front row has had to shuffle through the queues at Dublin Airport or the traffic jams which the rest of us have to endure. Nor has any of them had to put up with the traffic lights being erected at the exit to the port tunnel. One can imagine...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach said with the benefit of rose-tinted glasses that the Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, had had the project costed and evaluated. We have had all of this before on various projects including, in the Taoiseach's case, Campus and Stadium Ireland, where all the assessments, analyses and all the figures were supposed to be done on time and on budget and we saw the result of...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach is asking us to believe 30 weeks before a general election that big bores will be under St. Stephen's Green on the way out to Swords. He knows in his heart and soul that is not possible——

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach said it would be very dumb indeed to go to the market place seeking a ballpark figure. I remind him that the second phase of the M50 upgrade is a PPP project and the Government and the Minister for Transport have already announced it will come in at between €600 million and €700 million. That is an example of a major PPP project where the Government has given its ballpark...

Order of Business (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: I have four questions on the Order of Business. As everybody now knows, five young men lost their lives in a tragic occurrence in County Monaghan. When will the roads (amendment) Bill, dealing with further critical road safety initiatives, which is No. 76 on the list, be introduced? It should be expedited and this side of the House will facilitate it. When does the Government expect to...

National Security Committee. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: Question 13: To ask the Taoiseach when the interdepartmental group established to monitor the threat of a terrorist attack will next meet; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28209/06]

National Security Committee. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: It is obvious that yesterday's report that up to six Islamic terrorist cells were operating in Ireland in 2003 is quite disturbing. The groups in question were delivering financial and logistical support to terrorist groups abroad. We have raised this matter in the House on a number of occasions. If I recall correctly, the Taoiseach said on one occasion that members associated with...

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (24 Oct 2006)

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: Question 2: To ask the Taoiseach when he next expects to receive a report from the MacEntee inquiry; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28204/06]

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: On the last occasion the Taoiseach answered questions on this subject, we were happy to agree to an extension and it is obvious that Mr. MacEntee has his own reasons for this. Will the Taoiseach indicate why on the last occasion when an extension was sought and granted, that was expected to be the end of the procedure? Has some other issue arisen? Has there been some difficulty in...

Tribunals of Inquiry. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: Question 8: To ask the Taoiseach the costs which have accrued to date to his Department in respect of the Moriarty tribunal; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [28205/06]

Tribunals of Inquiry. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: I have to hand a reply to a recent parliamentary question which sets out some of the costs associated with tribunals, including €58 million for the ongoing Mahon tribunal, €26.2 million for the ongoing Morris tribunal, €25.2 million for the ongoing Moriarty tribunal and €10 million for the Barr tribunal. What is the position in respect of the ending of the Moriarty tribunal? Has an...

Enda Kenny: Did I discuss the content of the tribunal?

Tribunals of Inquiry. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: No, I did not discuss the content of the tribunal because I do not know it.

Tribunals of Inquiry. (24 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: If the Ceann Comhairle will allow me to ask my question, I have been very careful in addressing——
