- Irish Bank Resolution Corporation Bill 2013: Second Stage (6 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: When Fine Gael and Labour formed a new Government in 2011, we promised to renegotiate the bailout programme inherited from the previous Government to secure a more affordable solution to our banking and sovereign debt crises. In particular, we committed to replacing short-term emergency Central Bank lending secured against the promissory notes used by the previous Government to bail out the...
- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: I wish to make an important announcement for the information of the House. The Government has met in the past hour to consider a proposal from the Minister for Finance to once and for all remove the promissory notes relating to the former Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide Building Society. This proposal follows the conclusion of discussions between the European Central Bank and the...
- Promissory Notes: Statements (7 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: The agreement has reduced Ireland’s vulnerability from the huge debts taken on by Irish taxpayers as a result of the cost of rescuing failed private banks. Irish citizens can look forward once again with positive expectations. The legacy banking debt hoisted on the Irish taxpayer is a heavy burden and the promissory notes in Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Nationwide served as a millstone...

- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy referred to promises. I was reared on a diet of somebody belonging to the Deputy's tribe who intended on many occasions to drain the Shannon to sustain the people in the dark years of the economic war, the objective being that the small farmers of the west would see a light when all the water from the Cuilcagh pot would drain away into the Atlantic.
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: That was a pretty serious promise. It affected Deputy Collins's county also. I can confirm for Deputy Ó Cuív that the Cabinet has not considered anything like that on which he is speculating. With regard to the backlog that arose in respect of existing facilities for third level students and the payment of their grants, 69,000 applications were received this year, and payments...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: I am very glad the Deputy is interested in the aimsir fháistineach. He does not expect me to say that I will give approval to a document I have not seen. His own party did that for long enough. We deal in facts and decisions. I will not speculate on anything that a Minister might bring before the Cabinet. We will deal with issues as they arise and as Ministers present their...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: I withdraw it, if it is not true.
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: Lots of people from An Spidéal heard that when gluastáin an Aire Stáit arrived it was about the old bóthar gainimh, the bits of tar and chips and all the good news the Deputy had for them from different funds.
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy passed over the hill into Tourmakeady as well. Fair play to him. I do not accept the Deputy's allegations of anti-rural bias. In fact, when the Minister for Finance, Deputy Noonan, presented the budgets for 2012 and 2013, they included specific measures of assistance for small farmers and those involved in agri-business, and for rural areas in general. The Deputy is aware of,...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: Ar dtús, chas mé le cuid de na hoifigigh sinsearacha den PSNI ag an deireadh seachtaine agus rinne mé comhbhrón ar son an Rialtais agus ar son mhuintir na tíre as ucht bás Philippa Reynolds, go ndéana Dia trócaire ar a anam. Bean óg a bhí inti a bhí an-bríomhar san obair a bhí ar siúl aici. Aontaím leis an Teachta...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2013)
Enda Kenny: I found the meeting yesterday evening absolutely different in terms of the genuineness of the people concerned, the way they spoke, their stories, their personal accounts of their childhoods and their reflections 50 years on. The Irish Human Rights Commission carried out a report on the symphisiotomy issue four or five years ago. The Magdalen laundries were run by the religious orders. I...
