Order of Business (2 Oct 2008)

Order of Business (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: Deputy James Reilly will attend to the Tánaist's throat afterwards.

Order of Business (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Reilly can attend to the whole Government Front Bench if necessary. Arising from the conclusion of discussions in the Dáil and the Seanad last night and this morning, we now have one hour to agree on the amendments from the Seanad. The Oireachtas has responded to a crisis which erupted in Irish banking circles. For the moment, the response has dealt with that crisis. We hope the...

Order of Business (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Tánaiste for that reply. I am not suggesting she is not working but I made the point last week that there appeared to be professional kite flyers on the Government benches. We have the data protection proposal from the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, the third level fees proposal from the Minister for Education and Science, the absent Minister for the...

Order of Business (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: I want to put the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform on notice that just because this side of the House donned the jersey in the interests of Ireland and our economy does not mean he will get that level of co-operation into the future.

Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: From the Seanad (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: I accept the amendment from the Seanad, emanating from that body's deliberation of the Bill put before the Dáil. The country was faced with a financial crisis last weekend and the Legislature was asked to respond by providing the nuts and bolts of a financial and legal architectural structure that would underpin the economy and provide for a banking system that would allow people to go about...

Enda Kenny: I will deal with the amendment now. In order for every one of those people to be able to go about their normal business——

Credit Institutions (Financial Support) Bill 2008: From the Seanad (2 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: ——it was necessary for the Legislature to respond to the crisis it faced. In so far as that is possible, this Legislature having considered the matter, has given the Minister for Finance enormous authority to build the required legal and financial framework in which this particular amendment and scheme will become visible. There are probably only one or two people who have full...

Departmental Agencies. (7 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: In general, that may be so. As the Taoiseach is aware, the NESC, NESF and NESDO now all share administrative facilities. Why has this model not been applied across other agencies? Deputy Varadkar produced a detailed document about the growth in the number of agencies, sub-agencies and quangos in recent years. The philosophy mentioned by the Taoiseach does not apply in general because they...

Departmental Agencies. (7 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach will be aware that under the Good Friday Agreement, six new North-South bodies were set up. I am well aware of the sensitivities that applied ten years ago when the Agreement was adopted, signed and voted on by the peoples, North and South, but surely we should be in a position, having moved on to a time of peace and progress, to consider these bodies for all-island status....

Departmental Agencies. (7 Oct 2008)

Enda Kenny: There should be no division, North or South, in terms of politics or so on, regarding tourism. The best known landmark in the country is the Giant's Causeway. As someone who served in the tourism Department, it is my opinion that visitors to the island are visitors to all of Ireland. In a tightened economic situation, it would be much more effective to have a real marketing proposal for...
