Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: On a point of order, this morning I circulated a motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach. I wish to explain why I circulated that motion. Yesterday saw the publication of two independent expert reports into the causes and the failures of the banking situation in Ireland. This Government has relied on independent and expert advice on a series of occasions in recent years-----

Enda Kenny: I do not propose to speak to the motion.

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I appreciate that we are bound by order, and I know the order can only be varied by a proposal from the Government. That is what I wish to address. These two independent reports point the finger of blame directly at the Government and directly, as a consequence, at the person who was driving fiscal and economic policy in this country for a number of years, namely, the Taoiseach as then...

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: We have come in here for a second day when this House is expected not to speak about what everybody else in the country is talking about. The consequences of the actions, or inaction, of the Taoiseach as Minister for Finance have been that hundreds of thousands of people are now paying the price, with €20,000 of debt for every family, increasing unemployment-----

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: They will be very brief. This morning on Pat Kenny's radio programme the Minister for Transport said that people can make their own judgment. He said we can blame the Taoiseach for leading us into this - these are the words of the Minister for Transport. The position is that the precedent by long convention in this House is that when a motion of no confidence is set down it is countered by...

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for letting me say my few words, and I will make a final point. I listened this morning to the Minister for Finance who clearly said that the Government has to bear primary responsibility. He went on to speak about the sociopolitical context in which this happened. That sociopolitical context was generated by the Government within the spires of the Galway tent....

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is impossible to have belief and trust in the Government or to know whether it is speaking the truth. These reports are a damning indictment of the guilt of the Taoiseach, as Minister for Finance.

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: For that reason, I challenge the Minister of State, Deputy Moloney, the Tánaiste or the other Ministers to tell me when it is proposed to take a motion of confidence in the Taoiseach so that we can deal with these reports of guilt in this House where we should be allowed to debate such issues.

Business of Dáil (10 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: While the Minister for Finance points out that he was not in office at the time, he says the Government should accept primary responsibility while at the same time excluding the Government from the terms of reference of the commission of inquiry. I think the Minister was saying this morning that the country would make a profit out of this. He forgot to speak about the €22 billion that has...

Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: This motion of no confidence was triggered by the language, extent and depth of the two banking reports. The verdict is in. The evidence has been gathered. The analysis has been made. The conclusion of the two recent reports into our economic crisis is devastatingly clear. Deputy Brian Cowen is guilty of creating an economic disaster that will forever carry the logo, "Made by Fianna...
