- Order of Business (19 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: The first paragraph of the programme for Government for 2007 to 2012 says it will be delivered on time and on budget. In view of comments made at the weekend and the continued absence from the House of Green Party Ministers and Deputies, I ask the Taoiseach to clarify what is going on. Is it the intention of the Government to review this programme or rewrite it? There seems to be some...
- Leaders' Questions (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: I listened to the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform this morning and it seems that the Government has an inability to plan and finish projects. It also seems that the Minister may eventually revert with an entirely different entity. The hallmark of the Taoiseach's Ministry for Finance and Government has been to waste money. The Government spent â¬60 million on e-voting...

Enda Kenny: -----and carry through projects once they enter the system. With that â¬360 million, the Government could have built a major portion of the national children's hospital on a greenfield site or 100 schools. It could have dealt with many of the country's infrastructural requirements. Last week, I visited Neilstown where I met the mother of a young child who can read 15 words, but whose...
- Leaders' Questions (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach did not answer the question I asked. I asked him if he accepted, as a former Minister for Finance and as the current Taoiseach, that the money spent on e-voting machines, the PPARS computer system, consultancy for Abbotstown and a proposed development at Thornton Hall is now dead money. It was wasted by his Government and by him, as a former Minister for Finance. It is...

- Leaders' Questions (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: -----for the finance of major infrastructure over a long period is to use the European Investment Bank and private pension funds, and would not cost the taxpayer a cent by borrowing from broken banking institutions. In respect of the other pieces of major infrastructure proposed, can the Taoiseach say if the PPP system has failed, in view of the cost of borrowing for urban regeneration and...

- Ireland-America Economic Advisory Board. (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: On 5 May, President Obama proposed major changes to tax rules for American companies operating in Ireland, and the Government is aware of this. The White House identified Bermuda, Ireland and the Netherlands as low tax countries that account for nearly one third of all foreign profits reported by US corporations in 2003. The President believes that the current rules that encourage US...
- Ireland-America Economic Advisory Board. (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: Arising from the Taoiseach's reply, would he consider it appropriate that the Minister of State liaise directly with the directors of American corporations in Ireland? Has the Taoiseach received any expressions of concern from American plants in Ireland which repatriate their profits and as such would be subject to the changed rules proposed from the White House? Would he deem it...

- Departmental Staff. (20 May 2009)
Enda Kenny: The Government spent â¬6.2 million in 2008 on special advisers, media advisers and other personally appointed staff. Given the commitment to reduce public service pay by 3%, does the Taoiseach agree that it is time to examine the scale of appointments of special advisers to Ministers and Ministers of State? The Minister for Health and Children is in second place to the Taoiseach, having...
