Confidence in Government: Motion (9 Jun 2009)

Enda Kenny: That reminds me of the round of applause received by the Minister for Finance when he introduced one of the most disastrous budgets of all time. A Government can only govern with the permission of the people and can only continue if it has their confidence. This Government of Fianna Fáil, the Green Party and a scattering of Independent Deputies was rejected by almost three quarters of the...

Confidence in Government: Motion (9 Jun 2009)

Enda Kenny: -----from the public finances to banks, job creation, health, education, justice, social equality and a range of other issues. Minister after Minister will stand up and state we have nothing to offer only negative opinions.

Enda Kenny: Deputy Gogarty should consider what happened in his constituency and roll through the lobby if he wants tomorrow. I find it peculiar in an amusing way to hear Minister after Minister say that this is happening internationally, that every Government is faced with the gale force international recession and that they are all suffering. The fact is that they are not-----

Enda Kenny: -----and where Governments have faced tough decisions and made them in the interests of their people with equality and fairness in mind the public have understood and rewarded them. What happened here is that the Government floundered around from disaster to disaster since Deputy Cowen took over the reins of Taoiseach. He did not listen to anybody for the past 12 months but by God the...

Confidence in Government: Motion (9 Jun 2009)

Enda Kenny: They have rejected it by three quarters; almost 75% said "No" to the Government, its ability to sort out our country's problems and its continuing in office and "Yes" to change. It is time that the people were allowed to adjudicate on plans put before them by the various parties so they can make their decision, give their authority and give a mandate to a Government that can then bring...
