- Departmental Expenditure. (11 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Does that mean the communications unit, as it currently exists, will be abolished? In 2003-04, the Taoiseach's predecessor as Minister for Finance had a bill for press cutting services of â¬1,800. I suppose that represented value for money. In 2007, when the Taoiseach was Minister for Finance, that bill had increased by 380% to â¬30,000. Given that all of this activity goes on in every...
- Departmental Expenditure. (11 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: It seems public servants in every Department of State are required to dedicate part of their working day to going through newspapers to see whether they contain matters of relevance to the Ministers and Ministers of State in that Department. They have to put together a file of such clippings and present it to the Minister or Minister of State so he or she can read what the media has to say...
- Departmental Expenditure. (11 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: If the communications unit of the Taoiseach, on behalf of the Government, is working effectively, why is it necessary that press units of Departments and Ministers of State must still involve themselves in gathering press clippings as part of their work? Surely, this information could be sent electronically to every Minister and Minister of State with them being told "That is the news for...

- Leaders' Questions (11 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: I begin by offering my sympathy and the sympathy of the Fine Gael Party to the family and friends of the late Mr. Shane Geoghegan, who was gunned down at the weekend. I also offer sympathy to his sporting colleagues in Garryowen FC, and to the people of Limerick. I propose to nominate Fine Gael's spokesman on justice, Deputy Charles Flanagan, to represent the party at Mr. Geoghegan's...

Enda Kenny: That does not deal with the matter. The Taoiseach said no stone will be left unturned, no lack of resources will apply, there will be no legal restrictions and we will operate within the measure of the law. Everybody supports the Garda Commissioner. The House previously heard comments such as "the sting of a dying wasp" and "a watershed in Irish legal and criminal history" and we had five...

- Order of Business (11 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: However, a guillotine is proposed for 10 p.m. tomorrow. We can either have a vote now or tomorrow. I am opposed to the taking of this Bill by way of guillotine. It contains many changes to the social welfare regime on which all Members will wish to contribute. I am opposed to the Second Reading on the basis of the proposed guillotine.
