- Order of Business (31 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Government has made a series of changes to deal with homelessness, having regard both to rough sleepers and to those who find themselves homeless for other reasons. Perhaps Deputy Collins will give me the details of the person she has come across. This should not happen. There are many opportunities to cater for rough sleepers. This is happening every night when the count is made....

- Written Answers — Department of An Taoiseach: UK Referendum on EU Membership (31 Mar 2015)
Enda Kenny: A key strategic objective for the Government is the UK's continued membership of the European Union. I have made this very clear on a number of occasions.

Enda Kenny: On the occasion of the launch by the Government of the Low Pay Commission, which is being handled by the Department of Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, its Minister, Deputy Richard Bruton, and specifically the Minister of State, Deputy Gerald Nash, I had a brief meeting with the representative from Mandate Trade Union, who explained to me the position of the workers in Dunnes Stores.

- Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: Let me be clear. It is not the intention that the Low Pay Commission or the work Minister of State Deputy Gerald Nash is doing in respect of zero hour contracts will deal with this particular problem.

- Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: I reject Deputy Adams's assertion that this Government is not interested in people who work on lower wages.

Deputy Adams will recall that when he was first elected to the House, he was one of those who spouted constantly about the numbers of...

Enda Kenny: I am prepared to see fixed the 30,000 leaks through which many litres of water are being lost every day. It is being wasted. Let me be clear to Deputy Adams on the question about the banks. This Government did not fix and restructure the banking system for the benefit of bankers. It is for the benefit of customers.
- Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputies opposite may well laugh, but the fact is that this issue is central to the economic catastrophe that was allowed to befall the people.
