Leaders' Questions. (1 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Yesterday saw the publication of the Harding Clark report into medical practices at Our Lady of Lourdes Hospital, Drogheda, where, for more than 20 years, practices conducted by a doctor were not questioned and a number of procedures were carried out which deprived women of the opportunity to have further children, which has caused them untold distress and anxiety.

Leaders' Questions. (1 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Finally, does the Taoiseach now accept that we need comprehensive whistleblowers' legislation, such as that proposed by Deputy Rabbitte and the Labour Party some time ago, which would provide protection for staff members in any organisation who bring attention to wrongdoing?

Leaders' Questions. (1 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: It is entirely appropriate that Deputy Bertie Ahern, in his capacity as Taoiseach, should apologise to the women who were so seriously hurt, emotionally and physically, arising from these incidents.

It is quite sinister for Judge Harding Clark to state that her premises was forcibly entered on three separate occasions during the course of this...

Enda Kenny: I want to give the Ceann Comhairle some information

Legislative Programme. (1 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Seanad has not dealt with any legislation from the Taoiseach's Department in this session. The Ceann Comhairle may not have known that. The Taoiseach is the Head of the Government and of the country. There is a great deal of concern, without panic, in respect of the business of emergency planning. Obviously, people are concerned about avian flu, for example. Has the Taoiseach considered...

They could be making this tribute today because they know better than anyone else how passionately Larry McMahon believed in politics and...

Order of Business. (1 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Government for agreeing to the simple motion in respect of sending out a clear message about the carry-on on the streets of Dublin last Saturday. I do not believe the Ceann Comhairle can rule me out of order when I mention the legislative programme, which refers to wider business and not just the Department of the Taoiseach. Only one Bill has been initiated in the Seanad this...
