- Order of Business (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: When is it expected that the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill will come before the House?

- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: If the Government is so confident that this plan which it has been forced to bring in here is the path to recovery for the country, why does the Taoiseach not put down a motion and have it approved by the Dáil by vote?
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)

- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I do not accept the Order of Business as proposed. If the Government is stating that this is a first step or this is the path towards a first step, then let us adjudicate on what the Taoiseach considers is the path of recovery.

Enda Kenny: That is if the usual circumstances apply and nothing happens to disrupt that situation. In view of the observations from Europe, the longer things drift before the enactment of the Finance Bill, the more difficult it will be for taxpayers and Ireland because of the restrictions that will apply in respect of measures that may have to be drawn down from the contingency fund.
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: In view of these exceptional circumstances, does the Government propose to expedite the finance Bill? Debate on the Finance Bill 2010 was not concluded until 3 April but we cannot allow our deliberations to take the same length of time. It is just not on.
