Leaders' Questions (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: Whether the Taoiseach likes it, a commitment was made to put in place a medical admissions unit, 100 beds at St. Joseph's Hospital in Fairview and 200 at St. Mary's Hospital in the Phoenix Park. The medical admissions unit has not been provided. When we get into government in a few months, I would like to call in those who are supposed to be responsible for the delivery of these beds. Why...

Ministerial Advisers. (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: What is the difference between a special political adviser and a programme manager in the Taoiseach's Department? What has been the cost of the five special political advisers engaged by the Taoiseach over the past couple of years? How frequently do the special political advisers sit down with the Taoiseach and report progress or otherwise on the implementation of the programme for...

Interdepartmental Committees. (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for outlining the Departments represented. The Departments of Health and Children and Education and Science deal with hospital and school buildings. By anyone's standards, these categories are among the most critical, but they must go through a prolonged planning process. Has the cross-departmental team suggested these buildings should form part of the critical...

Suspension of Member (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I am going to say it anyway. This is a daft regulation. Deputy Cowley sits in your Chair, Sir, and he should know well that he should not interfere in Leaders' Questions and so on. This is a Deputy who proclaimed that there should be boycotts of business people in my county, who occupied public offices illegally——

Suspension of Member (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I will not vote for his expulsion, but he should understand the rules when he sits in the Chair. That kind of carry-on yesterday——

Order of Business (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Staunton is my party's spokesperson on this area. He has made the point that this is an extensive Bill and that members of the Opposition only had one day to consider the implications of the range of proposals made in the Bill. I do not know whether the Minister, Deputy Brennan, would agree. It is a very short time within which to consider such a range of proposals. I do not intend...

Enda Kenny: Does the Ceann Comhairle think I might go on for a long time?

Order of Business (21 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: That was not my fault. I wish to ask two questions. I refer to a report made available to the Department of Education and Science about the alleged serious drop in standards of young teachers and the difficulties this causes for the maintenance of teaching standards which is so important to the country. Will the Government make time available for a debate on this matter or does the Minister...
