Regulatory Reform. (17 Nov 2009)

Enda Kenny: Have we done any work on a baseline study of the cost of red tape in Irish industry? Every day, Members are being contacted by businesses in various sectors and inevitably red tape arises as an issue, with more form filling and administrative obstacles of one sort or another.

Regulatory Reform. (17 Nov 2009)

Leaders' Questions (17 Nov 2009)

Enda Kenny: Why has this matter not been dealt with decisively by the Government in view of the State's control? Neither we nor the bank know what is occurring and the Government will not say. Surely there is someone among the Irish diaspora who is objective, external, would do the job for €500,000 and would clean up the bank within 18 months. The person proposed to be appointed was centrally...
