Enda Kenny: I was concerned when I saw the activities of a number of people who disrupted the President's visit to a school recently. I considered that to be disgraceful behaviour. I admire the President's courage and the method in which he dealt with that. Clearly, security is a matter for the Garda Síochána, which discusses the security of the President with the President and his staff....

Enda Kenny: I have not. The Garda has been interested in providing security but I am the kind of person who is out and about a lot. Similar facilities that have been provided over the years have not been provided in this case. I did not feel they were necessary and I do not feel they are necessary now either.

Enda Kenny: In respect of the security issues, the Garda was more than anxious to provide security facilities but I declined those because they are available if required. Regarding the extra items of funding, there is €1 million for the diaspora. It is the first time we have ever had a Minister dealing directly with diaspora and I appointed Deputy Jimmy Deenihan, with the consent of the...

Enda Kenny: I will discuss the matter with the Attorney General and come back to you on both of these questions. On many occasions in the Dáil I have criticised the scale of daily fees for tribunals which continued for very long periods.

Enda Kenny: First of all, 134,000 people came off the live register last year. There is always a very significant movement of people into work and out of work.
