- Departmental Appointments. (16 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: Does any politically appointed adviser in the Taoiseach's Department deal with e-Government? This matter was the responsibility of the former Minister of State, Deputy Hanafin, but I am not sure what is the position at present. Are the guidelines that bind politically appointed advisers in terms of their duties published? Have any changes been recently introduced to these guidelines? Earlier...

- Office of the Chief State Solicitor. (16 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach answered questions on this matter previously. It is not very exciting stuff. How much work is outsourced from the Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions to private solicitors? What is the nature and extent of that work and is a figure available as to the annual cost to the taxpayer? The Taoiseach will also be aware that last year, the DPP voiced some considerable concerns...

- Regulatory Reform. (16 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: As time is short, I will ask only three questions. Do we have too many regulators and would one regulator with real authority, clout and assistance do the job better? The Taoiseach will be aware of a National Competitiveness Council report in which its chairman, Mr. Burgess, said the single greatest impediment to growth was the issue of costs. In the area of regulation of the furniture...

- Leaders' Questions. (16 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: I learned this afternoon that the three top executives in Aer Lingus have indicated their intention to resign with effect from 1 May 2005. This shock announcement comes one day after the news that the Government's chief executive designate for the Health Service Executive will not take up the position. The three Aer Lingus managers, in association with their workforce, have done a remarkable...
- Leaders' Questions. (16 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: It is time the Taoiseach came clean on all of this. We need a far greater level of truth, openness and clarity from him. Is it not a fact that the entire leadership of Aer Lingus is now leaving? Does this not amount to a serious vote of no confidence in his Government's handling of the future of Aer Lingus, its workers and customers? When did the Minister for Transport last meet the three...

This advice, which relates to a matter of major concern for up to 10,000 people, is long awaited. We are just ten days from the appointed date for reaching agreement on the current difficulties...

- National Security. (23 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: We are now the most defenceless country in Europe. Is there a document which sets out Ireland's national security policy? In the wake of the atrocities of 11 September 2001, a number of statements were made by the Government. It was stated, for example, that the elite Army ranger unit would be considerably strengthened. That has not happened. No extra finance has been given to G2, the...
- National Security. (23 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach comment on the Government statement, following the attacks of 11 September 2001, concerning the expansion of the elite Army ranger unit? Given the pressure of political circumstances applying to the entire Middle East, does the Taoiseach not think that G2, our military intelligence unit, which has an extensive understanding of the complications of Middle Eastern politics,...
- National Security. (23 Nov 2004)
Enda Kenny: Would the Taoiseach prefer if the UN had given a clear mandate for the invasion of Iraq through a second resolution? Would that have made his decision on Shannon easier? The Government found it difficult to say to the American Government that we would continue to make Shannon available. It would have been easier for the Taoiseach to do that if the United Nations had been in a position to give...
