Order of Business (9 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Bill will be later this year, but the presentation or publication of the Bill should not prevent the system from being able to treat people where they need treatment. The opticians and experts who work in the area of cataracts have quite a deal of work completed and have a very heavy work programme. The wait for the publication of a Bill should not stop people from getting the treatment...

Enda Kenny: Is é an rud ar a ndíríonn obair Roinn an Taoisigh go príomha ná idirghníomhú le Ranna agus Gníomhaireachtaí eile Rialtais. Mar thoradh air sin, ní thugann an Roinn leibhéal suntasach d'éileamh ón bpobal ar sheirbhísí i nGaeilge faoi deara. Thug líon comhaltaí foirne sa Roinn le fios go bhfuil an...

Written Answers — Department of An Taoiseach: Trade Agreements (9 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Transatlantic Trade and Investment Partnership is a proposed comprehensive trade and investment agreement currently under negotiation between the European Union and the United States.

Deaths of Irish students in California: Expressions of Sympathy (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: I am shocked and saddened to hear of the balcony collapse in Berkeley, California. My heart breaks for the parents who lost children this morning.

The telephone number of the Department of Foreign Affairs and Trade is (01)4180200. It is with great...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: I respect how Deputy Martin has raised this. The treatment of workers at Clerys, an institution for people from all over the country for over a century, was grossly insensitive and appalling. When I first heard the news, given the fact that we are making preparations for the centenary commemorations of 1916, which the Clerys building survived, and that the statue of Jim Larkin, famous for...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: I again thank the Deputy. There will be no delay in the processing of payments to workers affected by this outcome.

The issue will be dealt with as speedily as possible. I thank the Deputy...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Deputy. As I said to him, a representative of the liquidator has verbally advised the Department of Social Protection that all of the workers involved have been made redundant and that P45s will be issued this week. That is why the Department has notified all of the local offices that claims will be processed speedily and efficiently. When one examines company law, one realises...

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy deliberately misunderstands me. Company law legislation is very complex. The Deputy will be aware of the many hundreds of amendments made to company law Bills during the years. Company law is a complex business.

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The issue is much more straightforward. The company was insolvent. An application was made to the High Court for the appointment of a liquidator and it was approved. The liquidator or personnel on its behalf have said all of the workers are now redundant and that P45s will be issued this week. The workers are protected under redundancy legislation, but the company is completely insolvent....

Leaders' Questions (16 Jun 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Deputy is well aware that NAMA operates under a very specific remit. It was dealing with the largest property portfolio in the western hemisphere. The Deputy made certain comments here. I point out to him that NAMA also operates under the aegis of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General, some of whose personnel serve on the board of NAMA. NAMA appears regularly before the...
