- Northern Ireland Issues (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I met Tom Elliott MLA, the new leader of the UUP recently when he attended a cross-Border tourism conference arranged by my party in Donegal. At that meeting, he highlighted the role of the six official North-South bodies, namely, Waterways Ireland, the Food Safety Promotion Board, InterTradeIreland, the Special European Union Programmes Body, the language body comprising Foras na Gaeilge...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: In the past week we have seen the authority of and trust in this Government evaporate. Having been told only last week that there was no need for any outside intervention or help with regard to a bailout, people have watched in horror as the IMF, the ECB and the European Commission arrived in Dublin. Within three days the Taoiseach announced a formal application for a bailout. Yesterday we...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: For this reason, I accept the Taoiseach's invitation to meet the delegation from the IMF, ECB and European Commission. However, I will make one specific request to the Taoiseach. He has within his grasp two dates which can restore certainty and a sense of confidence. The first of these is the date of the budget. The Taoiseach noted the importance of passing the budget. The four year...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach used two important phrases. He referred to the "immediate priority" and also to "certainty". These are not normal times, this is not business as usual and I have no interest in attempting to play political games about something as serious for the people and country as the current situation. I am not sure whether the absence of some of the Taoiseach's erstwhile friends from...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: Yes. Maybe the Taoiseach does not appreciate the level of absolute exasperation and anger out there. One thing he can do is bring forward the budget next week. He could also bring forward the essentials of the Finance Bill. I will facilitate this if the Taoiseach so wishes by having the House sit from Monday until Friday for the two subsequent weeks to allow the Government to complete the...
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: This is much too serious.
- Leaders' Questions (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: The point is the Minister for Transport was talking about having an election out in April or May. Does the Taoiseach have any concept of the reaction this creates in respect of uncertainty? I am stating, from my own experience here, that it is perfectly in order for the Government to bring in its budget next week. It could bring in a slimmed-down version of the key essentials of the...
- Order of Business (23 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I note the Taoiseach's comment to the effect that November is extremely important in respect of income tax returns and receipts. He will be aware that if returns are submitted manually, they must be received by the end of October and that if they are submitted by means of Revenue's on-line service, ROS, they must be received by 17 November. As a result, the vast bulk of returns have already...

Enda Kenny: Question 270: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government when the payment for 2011 is due in respect of the non-principal private residence charge; if payment notices will be issued in 2011 to those who paid the charge in 2010; if he will be placing further requirements upon local authorities and other agencies to approach the administration of this charge in a...

- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: One of the hallmarks of the Cowen Government has been undue delays in making decisions, which has cost taxpayers a lot of money. On the recapitalisation of the banks, the Government delayed on the nationalisation and wind-up of Anglo Irish Bank, which has cost â¬30 billion. Yesterday, I made a constructive suggestion to the Taoiseach and the Government that it would be possible to bring...
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: Authoritative sources now reveal it will be necessary to draw down a further â¬85 billion. To clarify, how much of this figure is for the banks, how much for the running of the country and what are the interest rates involved?
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I am sure that in the talks that are proceeding, from the Government point of view the figures to be determined are being discussed. The figure of â¬85 billion is being bandied about and I again ask approximately what, from the Government's point of view, are we talking about in this regard? Is it â¬60 billion or â¬65 billion for banks and the rest for running services? In addition,...

Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach respond to my second question about the sharing of costs between the taxpayer and bank shareholders?
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: The second half of my question has not been answered.
- Constitutional Issues (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on the implementation of The Sullivan Review of the Office of the Attorney General of June 2006; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [37172/10]
- Constitutional Issues (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: What is the position with regard to the legislation required to place the Children First guidelines on a statutory footing? The Taoiseach will be aware that said legislation relates to the use of soft information. Is he in a position to outline the position in this regard? I understand the legislation could have been enacted this year if priority had been accorded to it.
