Legislative Programme. (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: Is that because it is Tuesday? Is that the Tuesday look from Cahirciveen?

Legislative Programme. (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: Fine, no harm in trying. In his contribution at the recent Ard-Fheis, the Taoiseach mentioned the creation of a central banking commission which would incorporate the responsibilities of the Central Bank and the supervision and regulatory functions of the Financial Regulator. This is critical, given the extent of bad naming of our country abroad and the fact international markets have...

Legislative Programme. (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: Is it intended that the Bill will involve the merger of the Central Bank and the functions of the Financial Regulator? We saw further resignations from a financial institution today. Everywhere one goes around the country, one is faced with small businesses and retailers who are unable to get lines of credit extended to them and jobs are being lost on a daily basis. We do not have a...

Departmental Committees. (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: Dúirt an Rialtas i ráiteas a chur sé amach le déanaí go mbeadh na hathruithe atá le déanamh leagtha amach i bplean trí bhliana, atá fós le bheith curtha os ár gcomhair. Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach go bhfuil an Rialtas chun buiséad nua a thógaint isteach go luath, ar an mbonn gur tharla rudaí áirithe le déanaí. An bhfuil sé i gceist ag an Rialtas plean a leagadh amach le...

Enda Kenny: Question 9: To ask the Taoiseach the projected payments by staff in his Department under the proposed new levy on public service pensions; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [5673/09]

Pension Provisions. (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: People recognise the scale of the economic problems we face and they are willing to contribute. The Taoiseach will understand this because he has met many people from around the country. They are saying they will contribute their share on two conditions: first, that the contribution will actually go towards sorting out the problem; and second, that it is seen to be fair. Patently, the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: There will be no dissent with the Government from this side of the House today. On behalf of the Fine Gael Party — I am sure I speak for everybody — I would like to express our sympathy to the families, friends and connections of three men murdered in Northern Ireland in the recent past, Mark Quinsey, Patrick Azimkar and Stephen Carroll. I am sure the Taoiseach and all Members share my...

Leaders' Questions (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: These are testing times for the devolved institutions in Northern Ireland. The leaders of the parties in the Assembly are to be commended for their openness and their response to these murders. I urge them to appeal to their supporters to co-operate fully with the police investigations now taking place, so that those responsible can be brought to justice. I urge the Garda Síochána to...

Leaders' Questions (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for that. These shots that took away the lives of people on our island have reverberated around the world sending a message of uncertainty and confusion. That is why it is important that this institution and its counterpart in Northern Ireland stand firm on this, that we reject those messages of confusion and uncertainty and that we stand absolutely behind the peace...

Order of Business (10 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: What is the date of the budget? Is it likely that a finance Bill will follow? Will the Dáil be recalled during the Easter recess?

Order of Business (10 Mar 2009)

Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: This morning we have another example of no senior Green Party Minister being present in the House. Day after day it is as if they do not exist. In fairness to Deputy Harney, she is in the Chamber for the opening of the Dáil session if she is around. Yesterday, the Governor of the Central Bank stated that he expects the economy to contract by at least 6% and that it will have contracted by...

Leaders' Questions (11 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: For quite a long time, the Governor of the Central Bank has been pointing out in the quarterly reports the dangers to the economy of proceeding down the road of construction in the main. Following his announcement yesterday, it is clear the situation is exceptionally grave, although he did not provide the unpublished estimates he mentioned at the Oireachtas committee meeting yesterday. I...

Departmental Expenditure. (11 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: The reduction in consultancy fees was to take effect from last Sunday, 1 March. Where projects have been running for some time, will the reduction take effect in respect of those projects from last Sunday? For example, in early 2008 the Economist Intelligence Unit — a brilliant name — undertook on behalf of Government to carry out an independent benchmarking review to assess the...

Programme for Government. (11 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: Aontaím leis an méid a dúirt an Taoiseach faoi chostas an phlean seo. Tá a fhios ag gach éinne nach féidir é a chur i gcrích go hiomlán muna bhfuil struchtúr eacnamaíochta na tíre láidir go leor. Ba mhaith liom cúpla ceist a chur faoi moltaí agus polasaithe nach mbaineann costas ar bith leo. Mar shampla, is féidir linn athstruchtúrú a dhéanamh ar an chóras cheadúnais...
