Order of Business. (11 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: As it is one of the atrocities of the troubles over the past 30 years, I thought it would be worthy of a comment from the Taoiseach and Prime Minister of the country.

Order of Business. (11 May 2005)

Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Does the Tánaiste and Minister for Health and Children expect the Cabinet to deal with the issue of the terminal at Dublin Airport next week? I note the comments made by the chairman of the Competition Authority, Mr. John Fingleton, that Government intervention is the greatest barrier to competition.

Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Yes. Mr. Fingleton argued that the State should stop preventing people from entering markets. Does the Government intend to change the Competition Authority to deal with that restriction upon competition entering the market? With regard to the e-mail regarding the former Minister of Health and Children, Deputy Mícheal Martin——

Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: The question arises on the Order of Business. Does the Government intend to amend the Public Service Management Act, 1997 in view of the fact that the Minister accepts no responsibility for the debacle foisted upon the Irish people?

Order of Business. (12 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Minister does not accept any responsibility despite the fact that it is contained in the Public Service Management Act. I consider myself very lucky that he did not have to cast his vote this morning and vote against his colleague, Deputy Ó Caoláin.

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: I will not start to speak until the Minister for Finance has taken his seat.

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Members may not realise that today is the third anniversary of the re-election of the Government. It is obvious that the Government was re-elected on the basis of clear and specific promises, some of which I will mention. Although it promised to end hospital waiting lists within two years, the most recently published figures indicate that approximately 27,000 people are on waiting lists. It...

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Government promised to keep taxes down, but instead it has delivered 34 new stealth taxes. I could refer to the failure to deliver a new terminal at Dublin Airport, to complete the introduction of the penalty points system for road traffic offences and to deal with the issue of class sizes. As the Minister with responsibility for this country's purse strings, does the Minister for Finance...

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: It is typical of the responses of Ministers of this Government that they do not accept responsibility for what is happening. I did not disagree with the Minister that these measures were not required; they are required. However, the Minister is in charge of the purse strings. The Comptroller and Auditor General's recent report stated that transport schemes have overrun by €4 billion yet...

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: The former Minister for Transport, Deputy Brennan, repeatedly talked about speed cameras, Dublin Airport and various reports. The Minister for Transport, Deputy Cullen, was left with the business of €60 million for electronic voting, which was apparently passed by his predecessor as Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government with no accountability. The absent former...

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: ——on the public purse arising from his refusal to live up to his ministerial responsibilities or to consider what his brief was when the Secretary General of the Department told him on the steps of the Gresham Hotel, or otherwise, that he should have followed the matter through. Everybody accepts that we have a strong economy, created on the backs of the workers of Ireland and the...

Leaders' Questions. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Will this happen in 2007?

Order of Business. (17 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Shortly before he single-handedly broke through the tunnel from Whitehall to Dublin Port, the Minister of State at the Department of Transport, Deputy Callely, announced a €15 billion transport programme. When will we see the Dublin metro Bill arising from his endeavours? Crack cocaine is becoming a major addictive drug in Dublin. It costs €1,000 per day to feed this psychologically...
