Order of Business (3 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I know you said yesterday, a Cheann Comhairle, that you do not interfere in rulings by Chairmen of committees. However, we cannot gloss over this issue by making statements on it in the Dáil. There is only one other instance of a parliament refusing to accept the independence of an ombudsman's request or to act upon it. There is conflict here between a Member of the Dáil and an...

If ever I saw...

Order of Business (4 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I will go into a long tirade. This is about accountability. I thank the Minister for his comments. I will not play politics with this issue.

Order of Business (4 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I will be helpful to the Ceann Comhairle. This is quite incredible.
