- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (21 Oct 2014)
Enda Kenny: I take the Deputy's point that his party is opposed to corporation tax avoidance. Believe me, where the Government wants to be on this is absolutely upfront with a regime that is understood to be completely transparent and accountable.

Enda Kenny: The criminal justice (sexual offences) Bill is due for this session. The health insurance (amendment) Bill is also due in this session. I note Deputy Martin's comments in respect of Ms Maíria Cahill. I expect to meet Ms Cahill tomorrow and look forward to that. This is a quite horrific case and, given her comments, it is clearly of personal and general interest. I would prefer to...

Enda Kenny: I merely make the point that one cannot have blind allegiance from one's deputy leader when she says she believes Deputy Adams fully and completely and can give a categoric guarantee that there is no cover-up anywhere within the Sinn Féin Party about this, or within the IRA. We understand others might well come forward. I do not know. I look forward to speaking to Maíria Cahill...
