Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: Yes, I have. I am waiting for a response from the Tánaiste's Department, principally, in respect of the document produced by Fine Gael and Deputy Coveney. The Taoiseach said he would get a considered opinion on our proposals as to how we can protect 80,000 jobs and create 100,000 jobs. That is something I await with interest.

Enda Kenny: We have had a litany of eminent persons from the Fianna Fáil Party - Deputy Andrews, Deputy Kennedy, Deputy O'Keeffe, Deputy McGrath, Deputy Aylward, Deputy Kelly and Deputy Byrne - saying rightly that the McCarthy report should be published.

Order of Business (10 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: For that reason I object to the taking of No. 5. The Dáil should sit next week to tease out the implications of the Criminal Justice (Amendment) Bill. It should have available to it the contents of the McCarthy report. I know all the Members on the opposite side are anxious to get away out of this place-----

The tradition is that I should take this opportunity to wish the Ceann Comhairle, as presiding officer of the House, some serenity and peace in the...

Order of Business (16 Sep 2009)

Enda Kenny: I oppose the Order of Business on the basis that the Bill being presented to the Dáil today - namely, the National Asset Management Agency Bill - is not the Bill that will emerge at the end of the process, for the simple reason there is no common agreement on this Bill among the constituent parties of the Government or even among the members of the major party in Government. I am also...

Order of Business (16 Sep 2009)

Enda Kenny: -----with no bailout for mortgage holders or taxpayers. I am equally concerned about the absence of any independent review by the Oireachtas of this or any other proposal that may come from the Bill. In essence, it is a proposal to shift between €50 billion and €60 billion onto the backs of Irish taxpayers. This is not how we should do business. I am opposed to the Order of Business...
