The problem is that a number of Departments have still not come back with requirements to allow us to bring it to the Dáil and discuss it. I will see to it that the senior officials dealing with the remaining elements respond quickly. In respect of Ballymurphy, I prepared the motion for all...

Enda Kenny: I agree completely with Deputy Higgins. It should not be deemed wrong, inferior or awkward for a person to wear headphones in this House to understand the translation of a discussion that is taking place as Gaeilge. I support the Deputy because such behaviour is a matter of normal course at European Union meetings where numerous languages are spoken. Tá an fhadhb seo thar a bheith...

Enda Kenny: You may be very happy to engage with Deputy Mathews on that matter. Deputy Martin raised an important and a valid point about the political response in respect of the Executive in Northern Ireland. There will be a meeting of the North-South Ministerial Council on Friday in Dublin, hosted by the Government. I will make a point of raising that with the political personnel who are here. I...

Enda Kenny: -----are all issues on this the day of the centenary of the Battle of the Somme. That speaks for itself. These are issues which all politicians should reflect on in respect of their responsibilities, their rights and, I hope, the requirement to make decisions where tolerance is understood and equality, as the Deputy rightly pointed out, can be brought to the fore.
