- Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: This is the annual reoccurrence of the guillotine, an unusual weapon used in the French Revolution. I do not wish the situation to arise where we have a series of guillotined Bills between now and the summer recess. Only four or five amendments have been tabled in respect of the Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Carbon Revenue Levy) Bill. I am informed that perhaps an hour's discussion...
- Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I have made my point about guillotines. I do not wish to unduly hold up the time of the House by voting against it, except to say to the Government Whip not to come in with a rash of guillotines between now and the rising of the Dáil for the summer recess.
- Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I ask the Taoiseach if he can report any progress on the wording for the children's referendum and if the referendum is likely to be held this year. Last week, following the publication of the Saville report, I asked that an agreed motion be unanimously passed by the House in respect of it. Has anything happened in that regard? Is it expected that the Government will hold a debate next week...

- Northern Ireland Issues (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I wish to ask the Taoiseach three questions. First, I wish him well on his first formal visit to Downing Street to meet the British Prime Minister. In light of the budgetary announcement yesterday by the Chancellor who indicated that there would be a specific review of the corporation tax rate in Northern Ireland, will the Taoiseach raise that with the British Prime Minister? The...
- Northern Ireland Issues (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for that response. He is aware that Mr. Paterson was interested in this question prior to his appointment as Northern Ireland Secretary of State. I would like the Taoiseach to raise with the UK Prime Minister the economic progress of the island of Ireland. Bearing in mind the publication of the Saville report, its clarity and the apology by the UK Prime Minister to the...
- Northern Ireland Issues (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. There is a possibility for progress through that mechanism. In Belfast on Monday, I met the Secretary of State and leaders of most of the parties for an up-to-date review on the current position. I also met representatives of Co-operation Ireland. Its chief executive, Mr. Peter Sheridan, gave a very fine presentation on what the organisation is doing to...
- Order of Business. (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: Deputy Shatter set out the reasons this proposal cannot be agreed to. The Health (Amendment) Bill 2010 is deeply flawed. The proposal is for Second Stage to conclude at 4.45 p.m. and Committee and Remaining Stages to conclude at 5.30 p.m. While the review group comprises people of outstanding ability, the changes contained in the Bill will continue a stream of information between the HSE...

- Order of Business. (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: We have only a short number of sitting days left before the proposed summer recess. Will the Tánaiste outline the legislation proposed to be put through the House between now and its rising for the summer? A number of suggestions have been made about legislation to be taken before the recess. Can the Tánaiste indicate the legislative schedule for next week and the remaining two weeks?...
- Order of Business. (23 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach gave a specific commitment in respect of legislation to deal with the racing industry and betting tax. It should be noted that there is growing concern about the status of the racing industry. There must be legal base to what the Taoiseach committed himself to and the earlier that is done, the better. May I ask the Tánaiste if it is envisaged that this legislation will come...

- Order of Business. (24 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: It is not agreed. This is an important Bill and we are aware of its implications. This is another incidence of the Government Chief Whip proposing a guillotine towards the closing stages of a Dáil session. While I do not want to unduly delay the House by calling a vote, I want to give him a warning that if, for the remaining period of this session, the Government continually makes...
- Order of Business. (24 Jun 2010)
Enda Kenny: I would like to ask four questions. First, with regard to the codes of practice for the National Asset Management Agency, NAMA, there is a great deal of comment in today's national newspapers about the relationship between property developers and the agency. As I understand it, it was promised that the codes of practice for NAMA would be published and these would show the interaction...
