Order of Business (31 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach got away lightly. I have two questions for him. Has the Government made any arrangement in respect of the proposed children's referendum? Is it likely to be held this year? Perhaps the Taoiseach will outline the position in that regard. While we argue in this House in regard to the various positions we adopt in respect of policies and so on-----

Order of Business (31 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am coming to it. Is the Government prepared to bring before the Joint Committee on Finance and the Public Service or the Dáil the options it considered in respect of the bail out of Anglo Irish Bank?

Order of Business (1 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am not holding up progress. In view of the intense activity between Anglo Irish Bank and the Government after the guarantee date, does the Government propose to extend the scope of the inquiry beyond the guarantee date?
