Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: ——it is difficult to quantify. These are matters that are important and should be discussed here. Will the Taoiseach instruct his Whip to provide an opportunity for a proper discussion in the House on the document he launched yesterday? The Forfás report published last week indicated clearly that if jobs are to be created and we are to have economic renewal, we need new investment in...

Cabinet Committee on Economic Renewal (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: I do not know whether the Taoiseach's briefing document has the answer to this question. In April, the Department of the Taoiseach stated that progress is already under way in a number of Departments in prioritising the implementation of task force recommendations which can be progressed in the short term. Does the Taoiseach have any information from that section of his Department to...

Order of Business (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: I wish to comment on this. The Minister concerned has been in the news in recent days. The point has been made that the conference the Minister is attending was arranged by her predecessor and that there was no facility to change the position of these questions on the rota because this is the first day of the Dáil session after the summer recess. If it is true that this matter was...

Order of Business (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: I share the sentiment that extra time should be allowed to deal with the motion. Perhaps I can be helpful to the House. This is an important matter. It is important we distinguish between the Credit Institutions (Eligible Liabilities Guarantee) (Amendment) Scheme 2010 and the original guarantee put through the House two years ago. It is fundamental that we have a banking system that works...

Order of Business (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: The final figure with regard to Anglo Irish Bank is to be made known by the Government tomorrow. Will the Taoiseach see to it that adequate time is provided in the House next week to discuss the implications of this issue? Second, will the Taoiseach confirm again the date of the budget? Third, in February of this year, the committee dealing with children's rights agreed a wording for a...

Enda Kenny: I move the following motions: That the Ceann Comhairle direct the Clerk of the Dáil to issue his writ for the election of a Member to fill the vacancy which has occurred in the membership of the present Dáil consequent on the resignation from Dáil Éireann of George Lee, a Member for the constituency of Dublin South. That the Ceann Comhairle direct the Clerk of the Dáil to issue his writ...

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is not agreed. Ireland wakes up this morning to another national crisis. People find themselves owning another bank when most people only wish to own their own homes. The Order of Business as presented by the Government is a typical response that constitutes business as usual. However, it is not business as usual. While the Taoiseach never has had any willingness to change the manner...

Enda Kenny: I intend to contribute to this debate.

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: The credibility of the Government, the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance in respect of banking strategy is now in tatters. I am appalled at the number of cases I have already encountered this morning of people who are concerned that lending practices will now become even tighter and that credit will not be extended to business with obvious consequential difficulties. However, for the...

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is not a time for hysterical reaction, nor is it a time for a panic-stricken reaction. The fundamental problem that the Government now faces and in which it has landed the country is that even if it produces four-year fiscal or banking plans or four-year growth projections, they will have no credibility. They will be treated in the same way by the markets as the Taoiseach's...

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: -----costed them and circulated them. We made our case about subordinated bond investors taking a portion of the hit. We need to tease out the Government's view on senior bondholders and the terms that are to be negotiated. The Minister for Finance was quite circumspect about this matter this morning. This is a most serious set of circumstances, catastrophic for many. The Government seems...

Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: I accept what the Taoiseach is saying. Will there be an opportunity, at the end of whatever time is agreed for an extended debate, for questions to the Minister for Finance?
