- Constitutional Amendments. (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: Since the Bill on the EU reform treaty referendum has been published, a judge appointed and a commission set up, I do not understand why there is a difficulty in setting a date for the referendum. Is there a blockage or reason the Taoiseach cannot set a date on which the referendum will be held? I have attended a dozen and a half meetings on this matter to try to explain what the referendum...
- Constitutional Amendments. (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: I will be happy to give my views on this issue. If the Taoiseach can confirm he is talking about the second week in June, Members should get on with their business. I wish to raise another point with the Taoiseach. I assume he will attend the summit conference on Friday. An issue has arisen in respect of the conduct and behaviour of, and manner in which, Commissioner Mandelson is putting...

- Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: Last April, the Taoiseach told the House that we had a world class health service in respect of which the Government should be congratulated. Last week, we saw the carefully choreographed publication of three separate reports that gave an insight into the way the health service is run. While none was prepared by truly independent sources, their findings are quite damning of the way the...
- Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: That is the prepared script and Members have heard it all before. The question I asked the Taoiseach was whether he is prepared to proclaim public confidence in the management capacity of the HSE to deliver results, for which they are paid, in respect of patients. He did not answer that question. He spoke of people who were under serious pressure, including front-line staff such as nurses...
- Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: This is the system that does not respond to the patient for whom it is paid to serve. This is the problem.
- Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: I refer to the evident mess in Portlaoise, in respect of which the three reports provide a damning indictment of the management capacity. It shows clearly that the bureaucratic monster set up by the Government is anonymous and responsible to no one. It answers to no one because no one is in charge of it. This is the reason the Taoiseach claims this is a systemic weakness. He should tell...

- Order of Business (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: Last night in her contribution on television the Minister for Health and Children, Deputy Harney, mentioned four reports into cancer services. Three of these have been published. The fourth report is called the Bulfin report. When is it likely to be published and with what does the report deal? There has been very little comment about it. Second, on four occasions I asked the Taoiseach...

- Order of Business (11 Mar 2008)
Enda Kenny: I asked the Taoiseach on four occasions to send me a report about why this unit cannot be opened. I listened to him state last night on television that there is sufficient money in the budget to deal with the provision of specialist teachers, occupational therapists, speech and language therapists, behavioural therapists etc. and that the HSE will not implement this regime in a crude...
