Northern Ireland Issues. (21 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is the detail that affects the relationships North and South about which the Taoiseach speaks, as the Ceann Comhairle knows. The question is about discussions with the parties in Northern Ireland and so on. Does the Taoiseach envisage a situation where, despite the categorisation of different degrees in the medical area, there is an opportunity for both Governments to again prove peace...

Official Engagements. (21 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: As the Taoiseach is aware, on many occasions, Deputy Ring has raised the question on behalf of the Fine Gael Party of the undocumented Irish in America. In the Taoiseach's discussions with President Obama, did the latter indicate whether his Administration will attempt to introduce comprehensive immigration legislation or a bilateral arrangement? The Taoiseach is aware of the continuing...

Order of Business (21 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: What is the situation concerning a Government decision on the children's referendum? Does the Taoiseasch expect to make that during this session, so that we can have clarity on when the Government intends to hold it? I know the Taoiseach has some work to do before that. I support the efforts being made by the Minister in respect of head shops. Many Deputies from both sides of the House...

Order of Business (21 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: Is the Taoiseach sure?

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is not agreed. I object to the Order of Business not only because of No. a11 being taken without debate but due to the fact that at long last, there is some semblance of recognition at Government level and within senior financial banking circles of the depth of anger at the culture of this Government supporting a situation where grossly over-the-top bonuses and payments were made to...

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: Irish Nationwide.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Government defended Mr. Boucher's payment.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: I welcome the fact that the chief executive of the Bank of Ireland has made the decision that he made in respect of his top-up pension. That is no thanks to the Government, which defended the position by stating that it was powerless to intervene until moral, political and public pressure brought about this decision. I was reminded by Deputy Flanagan that in the Taoiseach's constituency, a...

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: I thank you for that, a Cheann Comhairle, but I am asking about legislation and the need for it.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is not Leaders' Questions, it is a question about legislation. I have asked the Tánaiste two questions about Anglo Irish Bank and bonus payments.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: So Deputy Fleming is out of order.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Tánaiste has said that she is not aware, and that is exactly the problem with this Government. It is not aware because it is immune to the reality of what is happening around this country, including the unfairness and inequity that is now evident in so many areas.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: I remind the Tánaiste that yesterday the Taoiseach said, in respect of Mr. Fingleton, the former chief executive of the Irish Nationwide Building Society, that this matter would be pursued in every respect. Mr. Fingleton said he would return the €1 million given to him.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is one of the reasons that people are so angry in this country. If the Ceann Comhairle thinks that by talking about some regulation or having business as usual here, we will not raise these matters, then I am sorry. The Tánaiste's point about the committee on remuneration is valid because it made a recommendation in respect of the Irish Nationwide Building Society. It is set out in...

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: Section 48 of the Act-----

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is about the implementation of that.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am very much in order. I want to remind the Minister for Transport of section 48 of that Act, arising from what the Tánaiste said. There was a remuneration recommendation but section 48 of the Act states that the Minister may direct the covered institution to amend the remuneration plan so that compliance is achieved. I want to know from the Tánaiste if the Government and the Minister...
