Business of Dáil. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: Does this mean the Taoiseach will not attend?

Leaders' Questions. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: The first torpedo has been fired in respect of this budget day. Some time ago the Taoiseach said in the House: Deputy Kenny and I have been Members of the House for long enough to know that there is a code of ethics whereby those who have been elected to the House try to remain elected. That is the code of ethics in this House. This morning brought news of another indiscretion by the Minister...

Leaders' Questions. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: I believe the signs are ominous from the Taoiseach's remarks here. In December 1996, the Taoiseach said: My party and my front bench are determined that financial scrupulousness will be strictly observed by all our elected members without fear or favour. The public are entitled to have an absolute guarantee of the financial probity and integrity of their elected representatives, their...

Irish Language. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: I am glad to note that classes are being held in the Department of the Taoiseach. I do not know if he has attended any classes himself.

Irish Language. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: I hope the emphasis is on oral Irish and that the Department is in a position to stimulate people to want to participate in speaking the language. When the Taoiseach's Department receives correspondence as Gaeilge, that is, letters in Irish, are the personnel in his Department competent enough to respond in Irish? That brings me to another issue which perhaps the Ceann Comhairle might deal...

Commemorative Events. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: Question 4: To ask the Taoiseach his plans to commemorate the Easter Rising of 1916; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [31337/05]

Commemorative Events. (7 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: Any centenary commemoration of 1916 should be a State event. All parties in this House have members with forefathers who were in the GPO in 1916. Would the Taoiseach accept it was inappropriate to announce a commemoration at the Fianna Fáil Ard-Fheis rather on a national platform? I thank the Taoiseach for his correspondence and have appointed Deputy Timmins, a former member of the Defence...

Order of Business. (8 Dec 2005)

Order of Business. (8 Dec 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Ceann Comhairle knows from his experience that on many occasions in the past, the Order of Business in the House has been amended, with the acceptance of the Taoiseach, either for an extension of time or for a change of business and such an amendment will be facilitated now by Members on this side of the House. It is in the public interest that this should happen and I am quite sure the...
