- Constitutional Referenda. (10 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach mentioned the programme contained three potential referenda, one on the role of women, one on children's right and one on the court of appeal. We could support all of these referenda. Has the Government any firm proposals for a date for these referenda? If so, is it proposed to hold all three together?
- Constitutional Referenda. (10 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: I have listened to the Taoiseach read his brief. Deputy Olwyn Enright in 2003 put forward the view that legislation should be introduced for soft information. The committee recommended in September 2008 that no referendum was necessary but that legislation should be published. It was to be published in December 2008, which has now become, obviously, February 2010. What is the position in...
- Order of Business (10 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: It is not agreed to, not only because there is a guillotine involved, as the Taoiseach and Chief Whip well know. There are so many Members who want to speak on the Bill that it is unrealistic to propose closing the debate at 10 p.m. This is a time of great economic difficulty for many people. We need to focus on the possibilities and proposals in the Finance Bill that can help the...

- Freedom of Information. (16 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach attribute any validity on the comments of the Information Commissioner, Ms Emily O'Reilly, and the Department of Finance in respect of freedom of information, FOI, and the structures and costs relating thereto? Ms O'Reilly stated: If FOI is about replacing a culture of secrecy with a culture of openness in the Irish public service, I have to say that this objective is...
- Freedom of Information. (16 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: The question related in part to the response given by a Department of Finance official who stated that freedom of information requests are costly to process. I can understand that because if the Freedom of Information Act has a structural impediment whereby information that might be relevant is not given out freely, it means that further information is requested and therefore officials must...

- Departmental Expenditure. (16 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has explained many times the role of the communications unit, which is to alert him, as Head of Government, and the Ministers in his Cabinet to issues emerging in the media about which they should be informed. I thank the Taoiseach for his response on the cost of the unit. Arising from this, did the communications unit alert the Taoiseach to media reports on 21 December last...

- Departmental Expenditure. (16 Feb 2010)
Enda Kenny: I am well aware of the regulations and I am not making a personal charge against anybody. I am asking the Taoiseach if the communications unit brought it to his attention on 21 December last that a member of his Cabinet had apologised to an injured party for having submitted a false affidavit to the High Court. What did the Taoiseach do when that information was brought to his attention?...
- Departmental Expenditure. (16 Feb 2010)
