Leaders' Questions (25 Apr 2007)

Enda Kenny: If this had happened in a large area in Dublin, what would the response have been? Would the problem have been sorted out? What would have been the emergency response?

Inter-faith Dialogue. (25 Apr 2007)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for that reply. I remind him of what he said when he first addressed this structured dialogue with churches, faith communities and non-confessional bodies.

Telecommunications Data. (25 Apr 2007)
