Leaders' Questions (15 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach spoke about having high standards across the country. The Government was able to bring in legislation within two days to take money back from people in long-stay public institutions.

Ministerial Responsibilities. (15 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: The legislative programme is the responsibility of the Government Whip. In 2004 we were promised the animal health Bill, the Údarás na Gaeltachta Bill, the national monuments Bill, the ombudsman amendment Bill and the financial services modernisation and consolidation Bill, but none has appeared. Why is the backlog of legislation so great that these Bills, promised over two years ago on...

For the first time in my memory, the Minister of State, Deputy Treacy, attacked yours truly at a formal function in Brussels on the occasion of the Irish...

Ministerial Responsibilities. (15 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: Is that the responsibility of the Minister of State? Is he sent out to attack helpless Deputies at home who are unable to defend themselves in the same forum? This is not the hallmark of the Taoiseach. Perhaps Deputy Treacy thought he was appearing before the Mahon tribunal and that it was leaking like a sieve. We did hear about it here.

Enda Kenny: As Deputy Rabbitte noted, the Taoiseach has given a reply that was published this morning.
