Order of Business (3 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: Sometimes the folders get mixed up. The legislative programme for this Dáil session published by the Chief Whip contains 17 Bills, seven of which were listed for the previous session and some others were on the list before that. Has any analysis been carried out of how these targets are to be reached? There is little point in publishing lists of Bills which do not make it through to...

Order of Business (3 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: I am just asking for an opportunity to debate the matter next week. The second report on the Rebecca O'Malley case, as referred to by Deputies Reilly and Gilmore, sets out very clearly that patient-centred care is not sufficiently embedded in the management process, that systems have delayed and avoided difficult decisions and priority was not given to those who needed it. This is a major...

Chief State Solicitor's Office. (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: On 28 January this year, the Director of Public Prosecutions published on his website a document known as the Reasons Project. It was a discussion paper on prosecution policy and the provision of reasons for decisions. As the House is aware, the DPP's role is to conduct all criminal prosecutions which are serious enough to be tried before a jury. The problem is that in cases where no...

Chief State Solicitor's Office. (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: I share the Taoiseach's view in that regard. Prior to the election last year I was shocked by the scale of hurt felt by a woman who was abused in her childhood years. Eventually when the case was sent before the Director of Public Prosecutions she was informed, not by the DPP but by the abuser, that a prosecution was not being taken, which, as the Taoiseach rightly says, is appalling. If...

Chief State Solicitor's Office. (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach made commendable efforts in respect of the Dublin-Monaghan bombings to bring some finality and closure to that issue, which had gone on for a very long time. As he rightly pointed out, the Omagh bombing took place ten years ago. I commend the Taoiseach's action in making available whatever he can to these victims. I met with Michael Gallagher, as the Taoiseach did, and those...

Enda Kenny: Question 4: To ask the Taoiseach the progress made to date by the quality customer service working group established within his Department under the strategic management initiative; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [3550/08]

Strategic Management Initiative. (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: Over the years, we have often raised the question of the efficiency of the public service from the perspective of customer convenience. Out of 100 public offices surveyed by Deputy Varadkar, only three were open on Saturdays, three were open after 6 p.m. and a large number were found not to meet normal office opening hours. For example, the public planning counters in the four Dublin local...

Strategic Management Initiative. (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach agree that we should set a target date — I suggest 1 January 2011 — when e-services should be available on-line both to customers and businesses and ensure that target date is implemented? For the convenience of the customer, there could be on-line payment of court fines, student grants, passport applications, an e-register, on-line social welfare schemes and so on....

Enda Kenny: I know that. Sometimes one cannot get through.

Leaders' Questions (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: One of the major failures of the Government in the past ten years has been its inability to plan properly and match resources to plans that have been conceived. Nowhere is this more evident than in the workings of the Health Service Executive, HSE, which has become a monstrosity. Every day we see evidence of gross mismanagement and an inability to use facilities for which the taxpayer has...

Leaders' Questions (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: This is probably worse than we had thought. I accept the Taoiseach's apology to the family of the deceased person. It should not be necessary for him to have to do this but I am glad he did because of the blatant failure of HSE management to deal with it properly. One can understand the hurt caused. The HSE website states "welcome to northeast health.ie". It goes on to say that the HSE is...

Order of Business (8 Apr 2008)

Enda Kenny: Can I take it from the announcement we discussed here last week that 12 June is the date for the EU referendum? While I do not know that there has been a formal announcement, I expect that it is the date and, for our part, we are planning on that basis. The Taoiseach had to make a momentous announcement last week. In respect of a question asked by Deputy Gilmore last week, the Dáil will...
