- Commemorative Events. (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: What is the position with regard to the report to be presented to the Government, concerning the re-organisation of the GPO complex? At the ceremony there on Easter Sunday, people were asking questions about the area beyond the main hall of the GPO where there was to be a major reconstruction. I believe this had general approval given the historical significance of the space and the...
- Commemorative Events. (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: The Republic was declared 60 years ago this month by the former Taoiseach, John A. Costello. Is there any significance in the fact that the Government has made no reference to the foundation date of the Republic? Was there any reason for this? Was it not worthy of comment?

- Public Service Reform. (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: The OECD report was published a year ago yesterday. It was five months yesterday since the task force on public service reform, which was set up on foot of that report, reported back to Government with its three-year comprehensive plan to reform our public service. The Taoiseach will recall the OECD report exposed a number of serious shortcomings in the way the Government has managed, or...
- Public Service Reform. (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach have an overall figure on the savings that can be achieved by having a real policy in the area of public procurement? It must amount to hundreds of millions of euro. From speaking to procurement officers in local authorities and Departments, it is clear there are so many different contracts and systems in place that it seems incredible that a much more streamlined and...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: I wish to raise with the Taoiseach the matter of people being able to get to work. People are under serious pressure with 1,000 jobs a day being lost, some houses being repossessed, families under pressure with mortgages and fears about jobs being lost. These pressures are added to the normal pressures of society. The Taoiseach will be aware that in November 2007, a total of 60,000...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: We should not be in a position in 2009 where because of a monopoly situation, 150,000 commuters were stranded this morning. It is a case of "your own way to work". Governments have given â¬4.7 billion to Bus Ãireann and this group in the past ten years - â¬2 billion in capital and â¬2.7 billion for running routes. Yet this morning because of this unofficial dispute, not supported by...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: I am sure it is a coincidence that since the Taoiseach and I stood up here the action has been called off and I welcome that. The fact remains that 150,000 people were stranded this morning. It is difficult for Ministers, who have been driven by State transport for the past decade, to appreciate the pressure people are under.
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: The commuter does not mind what colour the bus is provided it is efficient, safe, reliable and economical. Dublin Bus loses a substantial amount of money every week. The Government is supposed to be in charge. Social partnership has been a valuable entity in the past number of years but this was a wild-cat action leaving 150,000 stranded. Has anybody examined a document in the files of...
- Order of Business (28 Apr 2009)
Enda Kenny: In view of the announcement by the World Health Organisation that it has raised the level of awareness in respect of current swine fever difficulties, will the Taoiseach indicate whether the Minister for Health and Children will keep the House and country informed of developments? I am sure she will do so. This matter must be considered and whatever actions the Government has to take will...
