I am not happy that the Bill will be guillotined by vote at 1.30 p.m. It appears in recent weeks that, on the one hand, the...

Order of Business. (9 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I do not agree to the proposal that the Dáil adjourn today until Tuesday, 21 March 2006. As I said yesterday, Donna Cleary was murdered in the suburbs of Dublin city.

Order of Business. (9 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I ask the Tánaiste to comment on and clarify a matter. It is deplorable that more than 500 people were on trolleys and chairs yesterday due to overcrowding in hospitals.

Is it not the case that in October 2004, when...
