Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: I will not labour the point. In the event that the High Court on Thursday sets a date for a full hearing of the Waterford and Dublin South cases, will the Government expedite its appeal to the Supreme Court so that a hearing will be held and a determination reached before the end of this term?

Order of Business (9 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: The reason I raise the matter is that in normal circumstances a Supreme Court appeal can drift for 18 months before being heard. While I do not speak for the Supreme Court, in the event that the High Court on Thursday gives a date for a hearing on the Waterford and Dublin South by-elections, does the Government intend to lodge an appeal to the Supreme Court in the Donegal South-West case as...

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is not usual for a Louth man to make a mistake like that.

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: It appears as if there has not been any urgency on the part of the Government in the pursuit of reckless activity in banks. The information available in the media today clearly indicates attempts by former Anglo Irish Bank employees to obstruct the course of justice and not to give the information regarding the encrypted files that many of them have. This is a situation that has outraged...

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: That is not satisfactory. Does the Taoiseach not understand the anger of people on the streets and throughout the country at this continual carry-on? I am not asking the Government to interfere in the course of justice. The Taoiseach said that all resources are being made available in order that this can be brought before the Director of Public Prosecutions, but they are not being made...

Enda Kenny: I understand that we have limited time.

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: When the then Minister, Deputy Cowen, was nominated to become Taoiseach, he attended a function with the board of Anglo Irish Bank in April 2008. When we asked a question on this in the Dáil, the Taoiseach said that this was a long-standing dinner engagement with Anglo Irish Bank and that it had no relevance to this situation. I take the Taoiseach at his word in what he said, but he has...

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach made his comment about the long-standing dinner in April 2008 when he answered questions in the House. I ask him again to clarify the position in view of the comments made by a former Anglo Irish Bank director which directly contradict what the Taoiseach said about the issue. Will he clarify the matter again?

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Government should pursue the matter in the courts. The State owns the bank.

Business of Dáil (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: Question 3: To ask the Taoiseach the arrangements in place in his office for providing special assistance to certain independent members of Dáil Éireann; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30249/10]

Agreements with Members (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Government made a deal with three Independent Deputies in 2007. To date, one of them has left the Government and two have been obliged to seek assurances from the Government on other serious matters. It seems as though the Government now is being held together by two Independent Members, based on the numbers in this House. One of the aforementioned Deputies is pursuing a massive...

Agreements with Members (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: At a time when everything is on the table and when the Government is faced with making decisions on taking €6 billion or thereabouts out of the economy next year, when people nationwide are expected to make a contribution because of the litany of incompetence by the Government over the years, why is it still the position that a civil servant or civil servants, who are paid for by the...

Agreements with Members (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: If the Taoiseach does not understand the question I will ask it of him again.

Agreements with Members (10 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Healy-Rae - good luck to him - on many occasions has shown a part of the headed paper on which his deal has been drafted and signed. Members spoke earlier during Leaders' Questions about encrypted files. These deals with the Independent Members appear to be in encrypted in such a way that no one can find out anything about them. Has the Taoiseach appointed a public servant, paid for...
