Enda Kenny: A process was proposed to support victims of abuse in all communities. That is happening with the supports available North and South.

Enda Kenny: -----or taunted in so many different ways. The First Minister asked for those three actions and they are already happening. Beyond that, the Minister for Justice and Equality regularly reviews with the Northern Ireland Minister of Justice the ongoing criminal investigations into these allegations. All of them are being investigated. It is not the case that nothing is happening. The...

Enda Kenny: I will tell the Deputy what he should do. He is the leader and president of his party. The Deputy First Minister is an admitted former member of the IRA. The Deputy and he could issue very straight statements to followers of their party or people who they know were members of the provisional IRA about these matters.

- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: In regard to the latter matter, the Government, at its meeting on 21 January, agreed the text of the proposed wording in English of the Thirty-fourth amendment. That text was subsequently translated into Gaeilge by the Rannóg an Aistriúchán, which is the translation service in the Oireachtas, and included in the Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality)...

- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Fennelly commission was set up following information about extensive recordings made of members of the public in telephone calls to Garda stations over many years. Subsequent to its being set up, the Oireachtas committee dealing with matters relevant to justice, which includes members of the Deputy’s party-----
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: -----recommended unanimously that the commission also be allowed to review and investigate the matters the Deputy mentions. The Deputy sat on this side of the House when the legislation went through and he will be aware that it is illegal for somebody to comment on matters relevant to a commission of investigation.
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: I have absolute faith in Mr. Justice Fennelly and in his integrity to do the job given to him by the Government. Deputy Martin should withdraw his comments, which have undermined the integrity of the commission he heads up by suggesting he should do certain things. That is beyond the Deputy's remit and certainly beyond mine.
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: Mr. Justice Fennelly should be allowed to do his job.
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: I can confirm preliminary work is under way in respect of the prisons Bill though I cannot give a date for when it will be published. The review of the fair deal is still with the Minister for Health. There will be time to debate it when he publishes it and I understand that is not too far away. I have already answered questions on distressed mortgages today. This will be the subject...
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: Planning legislation for more than one-off houses is a matter for the local authorities, the planning offices and the planning appeals board.
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: I think the Deputy is referring to the update of building regulations, which make it very costly. The Minister has done quite a bit of work on it and wants to make an intervention which will not affect the planning position of local authorities.
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Minister is anxious to move on it very quickly because the costs for people who get planning permission are pretty exorbitant. The heads of the Bill on sex offenders were approved at Government level a year ago. A great deal of work has been done on it and it is being prioritised. I think it will be one of the first Bills to come in on the next session of the Dáil. As to...
- Order of Business (10 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: I do not have a date for the banking consolidation Bill. It is a complicated Bill on which work is ongoing. The Bill on unregulated third party loans which have been bought is awaiting Committee Stage and it is a priority for Government. I agree with the Deputy that a solution for one is not a solution for another.
