- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: I cannot answer that question for the Deputy. The fact is that, under the Public Appointments Service, PAS, people apply online for positions that may become vacant in any of these. They are assessed and identified independently as to the conditions, the experience and the competence to do a job. Recommendations are then sent to the Minister of the day in order that he or she can pick from...
- Questions on Promised Legislation (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: Three paediatric hospitals provide scoliosis services, with the most complex cases being dealt with in Crumlin, as Deputy Brady is aware. As of 31 January 193 patients were awaiting spinal procedures in Crumlin, of which 143 are for new spinal fusions. I am not sure whether the simple test to which the Deputy referred has been reinstated but I will ask the Minister for Health, Deputy...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (28 Feb 2017)

The event built on the 14 all-island sectoral dialogue events, which were hosted by Ministers across the country, that have taken place...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: What we have tried to do here is to take all the issues that were raised and put them in the different sectors to which they apply. There were some very interesting observations made at the two all-island fora. I thank Deputy Howlin for his attendance and contribution. It is important to note that based on a pretty detailed analysis of the impact of Brexit to date on SMEs, on which we had...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy asked a valid question. What is the result we want for our citizens? What we want is the best result for our citizens in terms of our economy, their jobs, their prospects in terms of the common travel area, the peace process and our place in Europe. It is the central issue. When unemployment is down to 6.6% today, which is the best in nine years and quite astonishing in a...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: We do not want to go back there. Deputy Ó Caoláin will know about it only too well. While the independent Revenue Commissioners and customs officials who know how to operate borders have been writing and talking about this, the political challenge here is not to return to that kind of Border. We will not return to that kind of Border. I have made that perfectly clear to the...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (28 Feb 2017)
Enda Kenny: We are not changing our corporation tax rate. We have had this as the cornerstone of foreign direct investment policy in Ireland for many years. It has never moved up or down, or across any region or sector. It is 12.5%. We abolished the double Irish because of reputational perception of damage, we abolished the stateless concept and we have introduced the first OECD fully compliant...
