Enda Kenny: Last night up to 700 people with disabilities, their families, their carers and their advocates attended at the RDS to express their anger and frustration at what they perceive to be shortcomings in the Disability Bill 2004. In addition to the anger and frustration they expressed, there was a distinct feeling of having been through this previously. They thought, when the 2001 Bill was...

Leaders' Questions. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach could not have been at last night's meeting but I am sure he had representatives there. If all of the matters the Taoiseach has mentioned are included, why is there so much frustration, so much anger and a feeling of having been let down on the part of so many of the people who are involved with disability groups, who are carers or advocates, or who have family members who are...

Leaders' Questions. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: The definition being accorded to disability is not clear. Does it mean that episodic treatment, or treatment on an occasional basis as distinct from continuous treatment, will be available to persons who require it? Can the Taoiseach confirm that the entire mental health area will be included? It appears as if the legislation excludes thousands of people who feel they should be included in...

Social Partnership Agreement. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: Social partnership seems to be drowning in cotton wool. Is the Taoiseach satisfied that the current social partnership structure is capable of dealing with our economic problems, given that it is a producer-led as distinct from a consumer-led forum? The national action plan against racism made a specific recommendation that funding would be put in place for a system to prevent racist remarks...

Social Partnership Agreement. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: What does the Taoiseach envisage as the future for Sustaining Progress and social partnership? In 1987 when the Programme for National Recovery was introduced its aims were fairly simple, namely industrial peace and job creation traded for tax reform and wages.

Departmental Staff. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: I note a reduction in the number of PR people available to Departments in recent days.

In making that finding the commissioner said the requested records were created by the communications unit for the Taoiseach in his...

Order of Business. (9 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: I was interested in Deputy Morgan's question on section 31 and the way he spoke about IRA volunteers. Now that Sinn Féin is no longer an interpreter for the IRA it might withdraw the advertisement on its website for T-shirts carrying the slogan "Undefeated Army — IRA". Maybe he was speaking about the old IRA.
