This is a person who was given the honour and esteem of-----

Code of Conduct for Office Holders (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: Hold on, a Cheann Comhairle. The person I am referring to was elected as the Taoiseach of this country on three occasions, an honour that is almost unique. He is still in receipt of public moneys for his service as a public representative. Does the Taoiseach believe, in respect of the code of conduct for current and former office-holders, that to have this apparition on the national...

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach plan to amend the code of conduct for office holders and will he make a statement on the matter? The former Taoiseach is in receipt of privileges, as a former office holder. This is not conduct becoming for somebody who has held that service and I wish to hear the Taoiseach's view on it.

Code of Conduct for Office Holders (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am sure the Taoiseach, Deputy Cowen, has views on this although he might not wish to express them in the Chamber. I have asked the question but it appears he does not wish to answer it.

Enda Kenny: My question was whether the Taoiseach recalled getting a request from the Minister for Transport in accordance with the Cabinet 2007 handbook, which stipulates a request must be made to the Taoiseach in such matters. Given that the car was going there and the PSNI had to be instructed as regards security, perhaps the Taoiseach might like to comment on that. Just before Deputy Gilmore comes...

Tribunals of Inquiry (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach have an indication of the cost to the State of the tribunal in 2010? It was €4.1 million in 2008, and my reckoning is that it will be approximately €4 million this year. The report of the Comptroller and Auditor General last year indicated that the final cost, including third-party costs, could be in the region of €100 million. Does the Taoiseach have an assessment...
