- Departmental Appointments. (2 Oct 2007)

- Leaders' Questions (2 Oct 2007)
Enda Kenny: I have no wish to prolong the matter of the answers given by the Taoiseach under oath to the Mahon tribunal, nor have I any wish to concede to the views of those who would want to turn this into a personal and bitter political battle between us.
