- Decentralisation Programme. (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: These are from around the country, from the provinces.
- Decentralisation Programme. (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: The vast majority.
- Decentralisation Programme. (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: The then Minister, Charlie McCreevy, promised 10,000 people would move from Dublin in three years to 53 locations.
- Decentralisation Programme. (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: I refer again to the question of facilities for locations to which decentralisation was to take place. The Taoiseach's predecessor said on a number of occasions that an advantage of the decentralisation programme would be the ability to do business with Dublin from many locations around the country. Has he information in his brief as to how many of the 53 locations have full broadband...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: I am not going to stand up in the House and impugn the personal integrity of any person. The House has discussed on a number of occasions the capacity of appointees of the Government to do the job for which they are appointed. One of the primary considerations of this Government has been to focus on the business of wastage of money. It is now perfectly obvious that there is something...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: The Tánaiste said that this matter was all in the past. I would like to hear the Taoiseach's view on what has gone wrong because something is radically wrong. The latest revelations are about some place in Florida and somebody in my office picked out some information about it for me from the Internet. One of the more affordable vacation spots in all of Florida, there is never a lack of...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach consider it appropriate that a sum of $400 of Irish taxpayers' money should be spent on some person in a nail bar in west Cocoa Beach? Is this appropriate expenditure of Irish taxpayers' money when 10,000 people a month are losing their jobs? Is the identity of the person concerned known to the Taoiseach?
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: What is the Taoiseach going to do about it? Up to 10,000 people a month are losing their jobs while these revelations come out week after week. To claim the process is in place and the Committee of Public Accounts will come to a conclusion displays a massively cavalier approach from the Government. Material was sent to the committee by FÃS that had entries blacked out. I understand there...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: What is the Taoiseach's view on a â¬76,000 credit limit on a credit card issued to the persons involved? Will he explain beyond what the Tánaiste and Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment said was all in the past? The situation is that the Comptroller and Auditor General, the fraud squad and the Committee of Public Accounts are examining the organisation. Various people associated...
- Leaders' Questions (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Chiropodists.
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: I agree to that.
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: I have been examining the list of Supplementary Estimates. On Vote 26 under Education and Science it says excesses which occurred in a number of services, including national teachers salaries and grants to VECs, are offset by savings on schools information and communications technology, the second and third level capital and the strategic innovation fund. The programme laid out for IT for...
- Written Answers — School Staffing: School Staffing (25 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Question 548: To ask the Minister for Education and Science when a full-time teacher for the visually impaired in respect of a school (details supplied) in County Mayo will be reinstated; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [42284/08]
- Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: The announcement was made yesterday of the resignation of the director general of FÃS. The Government will launch another committee today to deal with cutting down the waste of taxpayers' money. The Taoiseach has 33 Ministers and this is their function. He has cast doubts on the judgment of others in this House, but the only two people who did not seem to realise that something was...
- Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: When I raised this issue yesterday, the first point I made was that I would not impugn the personal integrity of anybody. Did the Taoiseach discuss this with the Tánaiste before she contacted Mr. Molloy yesterday in terms of her conversation with him? Does the Taoiseach take the view that the audit committee of FÃS is representative of Ministers and Departments? If they did not know about...
- Leaders' Questions (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: The same would apply to any other party in office for too long. On the basis of the Taoiseach's comments about the former director general's integrity, I assume Mr. Molloy wants to co-operate with the Committee of Public Accounts to get to the bottom of this issue. If the Taoiseach did have a conversation with Mr. Molloy, did he point out to him that there would be no agreement on...
- Benchmarking Awards. (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach the costs which accrued to his Department in respect of the payment of the benchmarking pay awards; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29485/08]
- Benchmarking Awards. (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Is it the Taoiseach's view that the country can afford the national pay agreement as outlined?
- Benchmarking Awards. (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: We are still in a position where we have no recapitalisation of banks and there is tightening of credit to small businesses. The situation since July and September has deteriorated quite radically with 10,000 people a month losing their jobs, mostly in the private sector. Can I take it that it is the Taoiseach's intention to see that the pay deal goes ahead as agreed? It will cost â¬800...
- Programme for Government. (26 Nov 2008)
Enda Kenny: Question 3: To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the implementation of the agreed programme for Government; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [29486/08]
