Civil Service Regulation. (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: There has been much talk about what the DPP might be able to do and what generally happens. Traditionally, as the Taoiseach is aware, the DPP was seen as being in a position to assist the courts to arrive at a decision. In our adversarial court system a situation may arise where the defendant's barrister can go into a long tirade about mitigation for a defendant while the DPP, because of a...

Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I have no wish to play politics with the issue I wish to raise with the Taoiseach today.

Apparently this young boy's mother became aware of extremely inappropriate texts on his mobile phone and, having quizzed the young boy, it became apparent that he was being...

Leaders' Questions (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. I hope the Garda investigation is full and comprehensive.

I also suggest the Taoiseach speak to the chief executives of the mobile telephone companies. From speaking to...
