Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2010)

Enda Kenny: The first time I asked the Taoiseach a question on Leader's Questions, I asked about a woman in hospital. The Taoiseach's response was that it was too facile to raise such a case. I reject the charge the Taoiseach has made today. Shame on him and his Government for allowing what is happening to happen. The Taoiseach has said that no such decision has been made. If not, why are thousands...

Leaders' Questions (7 Jul 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach may say it is not happening, but he should go and ask the sisters, the Daughters of Charity and the Brothers of Charity and those who are providing voluntary services. These organisations faced up to their responsibility. They agreed to take cuts across the board, including pay cuts, and to do the same work for less. However, because the Government has not been able to either...

EU Summits (7 Jul 2010)

Enda Kenny: Perhaps the Taoiseach should recognise that the two banking reports indicated that 75% of the crisis was home grown. He does not refer to that very often.

It is accepted that the strategy will assist EU...

I have referred previously to one of those points which was new, the innovation fund of €500 million. I ask the Taoiseach to clarify the position.

There are a number of amendments tabled by Fine Gael in the name of Deputy Reilly and by the Labour Party that need to be...

Order of Business (7 Jul 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach outlined a number of real issues that needed to be faced up to and debated in the House when he was replying to one of Deputy Ó Caoláin's short questions.

Might there be real discussion in the Chamber about the Votes and the priorities to be decided...
