Code of Conduct for Office Holders. (3 Apr 2007)

Enda Kenny: I am sure the Taoiseach is as anxious as everybody else that everything should be absolutely clear in so far as the remit and role of public servants is concerned.

Leaders' Questions (3 Apr 2007)

Enda Kenny: The current dispute involving work to rule by 40,000 nurses is an example of the Government's failure creatively to pre-empt a crisis that threatens the delivery of fundamental quality health services in the State. As a consequence, it fails patients, taxpayers and front-line workers. It is more than three years since I proposed that the benchmarking process was not capable of dealing with...
