Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2009)

Leaders' Questions (20 Oct 2009)

Enda Kenny: -----each year, the health service is not delivering in the way that the Taoiseach wants, nor in the way that the people require.

Order of Business (20 Oct 2009)

Enda Kenny: The Ceann Comhairle will be aware it is usual for Members to ask questions on the Order of Business before moving on to the motions. I know it takes a little time for one to get used to a new position.

Order of Business (20 Oct 2009)

Enda Kenny: We will get the Ceann Comhairle right after a while. The entire country was overjoyed to hear of the release in Africa of the Goal worker, Sharon Commins. It is appropriate that we pay tribute and give credit to Sharon and her family for their consistent courage. I also want to recognise the efforts made by the Government, through the Minister and Department of Foreign Affairs and our...
