Northern Ireland Issues. (19 May 2009)

Enda Kenny: I asked the Taoiseach if he will report on recent developments in Northern Ireland, and if he will make a statement on the matter.

These have resulted in a wipe-out of business in many of the retail stores south of the Border....

Northern Ireland Issues. (19 May 2009)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach agree with the Minister for Finance that it was a mistake to raise VAT by 0.5%? The implication was that people assumed they would get better bargains than they actually do. Does he intend to examine the cap on retail space on this side of the Border because we must now compete with massive developments in Newry, Enniskillen and Armagh? There will be further serious...

Constitutional Amendments. (19 May 2009)

Enda Kenny: I would like, if I may, to ask three questions to the Taoiseach. Ireland has been bad-mouthed around Europe owing to the decision of the Irish people in respect of the Lisbon treaty. I hope the treaty is approved at the next referendum. Fine Gael will lead a strong campaign in this regard. Does the Taoiseach expect the legislation giving effect to the Lisbon treaty referendum to be...

Leaders' Questions (19 May 2009)

Enda Kenny: This morning, I listened carefully to the chairman of the Bank of Ireland, who has announced his resignation, state that accountability for losses must be taken at the top.

The Taoiseach has stated nothing more than a repetition of what he has previously stated. He states he accepts...

Leaders' Questions (19 May 2009)

Enda Kenny: They will continue on their merry way because the focus is on self-preservation from his party-political point of view.
