Leaders' Questions. (8 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has not answered my questions. What are the preliminary steps that need to be taken? Does the Attorney General need to deal with any legal issues or threats, based on his advice to the Cabinet this morning? Will the report deal with public and political accountability? In fairness to the Tánaiste, Deputy Harney, while she had to accept collective Cabinet responsibility for this...

Leaders' Questions. (8 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: Does the report make recommendations in regard to political accountability? It is the Taoiseach's duty and requirement under the Public Service Management Act 1997 to have political responsibility vested in Ministers to regularise matters in situations where some illegal activity is clearly taking place. When this report is published, does the Taoiseach intend to take action against the...

Order of Business. (8 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: I do not agree with it. The notice sent from the Government in respect of the Postal (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill 2001 makes a valid point about the necessity to discuss sensitive issues. Given that the issue of the postal services is before the Labour Court, I can understand the reason for the request, but will the Taoiseach instruct his Whip to make arrangements to have a full-scale...

Order of Business. (8 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: I am opposed to it. It is proposed to conclude Committee and Remaining Stages at 7 p.m.. The Health (Amendment) Bill 2005 is an important Bill which affects a great number of people. The Tánaiste has expressed concern that the Government is losing €2.5 million per week while it is not implemented. That is the basis on which the legislation fell previously. It was rushed through the House,...

Order of Business. (8 Mar 2005)

Enda Kenny: First, there is no meeting scheduled tomorrow for the Joint Committee on Health and Children. It normally meets at 9.30 a.m. but is now expected to meet at 11 a.m., half an hour after Taoiseach's Question Time begins here. The Taoiseach's move to have himself removed from the House for five weeks and not to have to answer questions is, therefore, valid.

Enda Kenny: This is International Women's Day and the front pages of the national newspapers carry the story of the release on bail of a convicted rapist. The judge in this case, for his own reasons made his decision. When will a judicial conduct and ethics Bill come before the House?
