Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I have given the Taoiseach credit in the past for his interest in this from the beginning, and I repeat that now. I agree with Deputy Rabbitte in respect of Mr. Justice Barron and Mr. MacEntee. The truth about matters such as this is of critical importance to the integrity and credibility of any Government. One of my near neighbours was blown up and killed in the Dublin bombings. The fact...

Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. Perhaps this is not a fair question to ask but, arising from the discussion in the House on the Finucane murder and the decision of the House to make an all-party recommendation for a full public inquiry on that issue, is the Taoiseach satisfied that the British Prime Minister, Mr. Blair, is on the level in his discussions with the Taoiseach on the Dublin...

Freedom of Information. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: I wish to ask the Taoiseach two questions about this. In February last I questioned him about the situation which had occurred whereby the Health and Safety Authority's enforcement functions had been removed from the provisions of the Act and that the Information Commissioner was only told that by a member of the public. I understand that since then the Department of Finance has written to...

Freedom of Information. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Yes. I knew the Ceann Comhairle would come around at me some way or other. That is why I wanted to put that in. My question to the Taoiseach is this. Can he confirm that the Department of Finance has written to the Secretary General of his Department requesting that any development within his Department which might impact upon the Freedom of Information Act would be made known to the...

Freedom of Information. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Is it practical, commonsense and fair if an appeal is allowed by the Information Commissioner in the case of a freedom of information request to the Taoiseach's Department, where there are a small number of refusals, that the appeal charge be repaid to the person who lodged the successful appeal?

Leaders' Questions. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: On the issue of the efficiency or inefficiency of the driving tester system, I begin by wishing Mr. Gay Byrne the best of luck in his appointment as chairman of the Road Safety Authority. I thank Mr. Eddie Shaw for his services as chief executive. I wish the chief executive designate Mr. Noel Brett every success in an absolutely critical area. Mr. Byrne has rightly identified as an immediate...

Leaders' Questions. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach agree fundamentally that the current situation is unsustainable, that the Government must do something about it and that outsourcing is the one and only method to address the problem effectively? This means that the constraint in Sustaining Progress must be overcome. How does the Government intend to address the problem of 400,000 people driving with provisional licences...

Leaders' Questions. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: Is this not a case of the Government being unable to govern in the interests of the greater public? Will the Taoiseach assure the House he will ask the unions for an immediate derogation in respect of Sustaining Progress so this matter can be dealt with? I am quite sure everyone involved in the trade union movement is anxious to ensure human lives are saved on our roads. This matter cannot be...

Enda Kenny: This is an instruction to the committee. My party called for the Dáil to be recalled before St. Patrick's Day with a view to bringing this Bill back to the House as early as possible. I do not object to this method of dealing with it, nor do I object to it being concluded at 10.30 p.m. tomorrow. However, the range of amendments brought in by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform...

Enda Kenny: That is correct.

Order of Business. (28 Mar 2006)

Enda Kenny: In his response to Taoiseach's Questions today, the Taoiseach rightly stated that reports that came before the Government would be published as speedily as possible. In that context, has the Minister for Education and Science told the Taoiseach when the Harris report will be published, given that she has had the report in her possession at the Department for a number of months? The report...
