- Departmental Expenditure (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply and would like to raise with him a couple of questions in regard to the final portion of it. I understand that the new website, www.MerrionStreet.ie, which went live in July, cost approximately â¬40,000 to set up and was inspired by the www.Number-10.gov.uk website. I also understand that the dedicated website, www.taoiseach.gov.ie, which is already in...

Enda Kenny: To get the message out. The website in question makes provision for web chats with Ministers and the publication of thought-provoking e-mails and letters from members of the public. There are some who use other methods to publicise thought-provoking messages. The website has not yet been used to any great degree for the purpose to which I refer. Is it the Taoiseach's intention to ensure...
- Departmental Expenditure (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: The projected cost of the Government Information Service for 2010 is â¬242,269. This reflects a 6% reduction on the cost in 2009. In light of the fact that there is absolute urgency with regard to reducing costs to a minimum while retaining effective services, is it the Taoiseach's view that this is the bottom line regarding what can be achieved in the context of cutting the costs relating...

- Social Partnership (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: I want to ask the Taoiseach about the recent revelations on the SIPTU national health and local authority levy fund account, which had â¬2.7 million transferred into it between 2002 and 2009. The latest revelations indicate that perhaps some social partnership funds were used here also. Does the Taoiseach have any information on this? Has he carried out or is he carrying out an...
- Social Partnership (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: I understand the Comptroller and Auditor General did his report and the Committee of Public Accounts is looking at this. However, there are two fundamental elements which are relevant to the Taoiseach's Department. He should be able to confirm that nobody from the Department of the Taoiseach travelled on any of these social partnership investigation trips and he should certainly be able to...
- Social Partnership (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: Fine. The Croke Park agreement came about following a request from the Government for reforms following cuts in levels of pay. Since the Croke Park agreement was ratified in June no efficiencies or savings have been made. For example, in education on which there was a great deal of discussion, the Public Service Agreement 2010-2014 agreed that by the start of the 2010-11 school year there...
- Social Partnership (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach is correct in that he is confident that these changes will bring about greater efficiencies and a more effective service. On the educational block of the Croke Park agreement to which I referred, however, none of those elements have been implemented and the agreement stated clearly that these would take effect from the start of the academic year 2010-11. Being confident is one...

- Leaders' Questions (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: The mood of the people ranges from deeply concerned to terrified in terms of the economic situation the country now faces. They recognise that a significant element of this is because of poor Government, bad judgment and obscene wastage of their money. This morning we heard from the European Commission that most of the sacrifices made by the people have now been frittered away in terms of...
- Leaders' Questions (12 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: There have been many days on which and many issues in respect of which the House has been divided. Perhaps it is time for a statement of agreement on an issue that affects every person in this country. I am not going to do down any proposal which might have an impact with regard to dealing with the problems we face in economic and fiscal terms. Those problems have a direct impact, in...
