Centenarian Bounty. (9 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: The old saying that "time and tide wait for no man" is true. When does the Taoiseach expect the scheme to become effective and operational? Do the figures available to the Taoiseach's Department give any idea how many people are approaching 100? If this scheme catches on, some of the 40 million Irish Americans who claim to be Irish on census forms might be interested in lodging an application...

Leaders' Questions. (9 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: It is appropriate that I refer to Europe Day and the participation of Members from all parties in the structured debate tomorrow. However, I wish to ask the Taoiseach about another matter. He will be aware that over the past two years 11,000 serious crimes have been committed by people on bail, including 43 homicides, 500 assaults, 750 serious drug offences and thousands of thefts and...

Leaders' Questions. (9 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: I wish to give the Taoiseach credit for clarifying what is correct. The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform said that this provision was already contained in the Bill. I am glad the Taoiseach has asserted his authority in having the Bill passed at the Cabinet table and is now confirming that it is not in the legislation. He who knows everything about these matters——

Leaders' Questions. (9 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: ——would be well advised to take note of the Taoiseach's confirmation, which I welcome. While the referendum tightened the bail conditions in some respects, judges must still draw on a mixture of legislation and precedent when granting bail. It would be appropriate that a new bail Bill setting out all those conditions comprehensively should be introduced by the House. Does the Taoiseach...

Order of Business. (9 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: Given that there has been a huge increase in the various invasive weeds in the lakes of the country, which will literally wipe out coarse and trout angling in the next 15 years if something is not done to address this problem, when is the national inland fisheries authority Bill likely to be published in order that an authority might be put in place to deal with this problem which will have a...

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: The key promise made by the Government was that people would feel safer in their homes and on the streets, a record on which the Government would be judged. Everybody stands for that kind of society. The latest figures published for headline crime, however, suggest a serious situation. The reality is that crime is up and detection is down. Homicides are up from 98 in 2004 to 155 in 2005....

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach believe that his Government's fundamental commitment to making people feel safer in their homes and on the streets is being fulfilled to this point?

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Arts, Sport and Tourism is more concerned with the mast in Kerry than many other things.

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach did not answer my question. He made a fundamental promise on behalf of his Government that people would feel safer in their homes and on the streets and that the Government would be judged on this. I have cited failure in ten categories in the nine years the Government has been in office. Is it not a fact that as a consequence of this our country is in many ways a much less...

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: ——a challenge to his correctness but he has not self-combusted over murders, assaults, rapes or theft which have all increased under his jurisdiction. This reminds me of what Churchill said about US Secretary of State, John Foster Dulles, "I know of no other bull who brings his own china shop with him." Given the resources available to the Garda Síochána, is he not in a position to——

Leaders' Questions. (10 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: ——set targets and achieve results? Will he address the question whether he thinks the people of this country feel safer in their homes and on the streets, as was his promise upon which he shall be judged and in respect of which the Ceann Comhairle is correct, the Taoiseach's time, if not up, is almost up?
