Regulatory Reform. (12 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: One would nearly want a legal team to absorb all that, whoever laboured long and hard over it.

Regulatory Reform. (12 Feb 2008)

Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: For many months we have listened to statements from the Taoiseach and his Ministers claiming the Mahon tribunal should be allowed to do its work expeditiously at as little cost as possible and that we should all await its findings. We heard repeated claims from the Taoiseach that he co-operated fully with the tribunal, that he wants to do so and that he sent it comprehensive records in so...

Leaders' Questions (12 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach is wrong on two counts. First, Article 15.13 of the Constitution refers to not being amenable to any other authority; Article 15.12 refers to privilege. Second, the Taoiseach is not obliged to take anyone's legal advice. He is a client. His legal team should be quite prepared to set a number of options in front of him. The Taoiseach is then fully entitled to say he does not...

Order of Business (12 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: First, will the Taoiseach indicate if the Government has made a decision yet in respect of the naming of a date for the reform treaty referendum of the European Union? The Taoiseach is aware of my views on this matter that the sooner we fix a date, the easier it will be for parties for and against to put their plans in order. Has the Cabinet decided on a date and, if so, will the Taoiseach...

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Health and Children has instructed the HSE to implement a new contract for community pharmacists in just over two weeks. This has caused much anxiety among people who use the GMS system, who number well over 1 million and are among the most vulnerable in our society, that they will not be able to obtain their medicines after 1 March. There is currently a stand-off between...

Leaders' Questions (13 Feb 2008)

Enda Kenny: It is a pity the Minister was not as direct about the intention of introducing savings by reducing the administrative bulge in the HSE, which has been recognised by the Taoiseach.
