Order of Business (28 Jun 2007)

Enda Kenny: I note that neither of the two Cabinet Ministers from the Green Party is in the House, nor is the Progressive Democrats Minister, which is a continuation of the contempt they show for this House when it meets in formal session in the mornings.

Social Partnership. (3 Jul 2007)

Enda Kenny: I thought for one moment that the Ceann Comhairle was smiling in unison with the Taoiseach at that remark but, obviously, that was not the case.

Social Partnership. (3 Jul 2007)

Enda Kenny: Right. I note the Taoiseach met the Irish Congress of Trade Unions last week and had a lengthy discussion with it. He is due also to address it tomorrow.

I have here the document from the Health Service Executive which states clearly there is a requirement on the HSE to effect a 1,000 whole-time equivalent reduction by the end of 2007. On 22 May 2007 the Minister for Health and Children, who obviously cannot be here because of her family bereavement, agreed...

Order of Business (3 Jul 2007)

Enda Kenny: Last week I asked the Tánaiste, in the absence of the Taoiseach, whether the Ethics Bill that was proposed last October to keep the Progressive Democrats in power would be taken or dropped. The Tánaiste said that it would probably be taken in the Seanad this week and that it would then return to this House, but I do not see it listed on the Order of Business for tomorrow or Thursday.
