Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: That does not answer the question nor is it any valid reason for accepting an agreement that is not in the interests of this country. The reason we cannot go near the markets to borrow money is because of the gross ineptitude, incompetence and downright arrogance of the Government over the past number of years. The Taoiseach created the situation in which this country has not been able to...

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: I respect Standing Orders and I hope the Ceann Comhairle respects my right as leader of this party to make my point here. What happened last Sunday was a demonstration of the art and the craft and the skill of national destruction. This deal was done by a respected academic and a regulator without any real political input, bargaining or negotiation. It was done as if the people did not...

Leaders' Questions (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: This Government has facilitated the banks, it has facilitated rack and ruin and the placing of a debt on the shoulders of every man, woman and child in this State for the next generation.

I met with the IMF, the ECB and the European Commission, the very same Commission that yesterday sent a torpedo through the Government's own growth...

Introduction of New Member (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: Ba mhaith liom fáilte mór a chur roimh an Teachta Ó Dochartaigh. Mar aon leis an Taoiseach, is cuimhin liom go maith teacht isteach anseo i ndiadh fothoghchán blianta fada ó shin. Is cinnte gur lá bródúil é an lá inniu do Róisín agus do mháthair an Teachta nua, Gráinne. Mar duine a bhfuil gaol agam leis an Dáilcheantar Dún na nGall Thiar Theas, aontaím gur fíor go bhfuil...

Introduction of New Member (30 Nov 2010)

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: The first item on the Order of Business is No. 1, that the Dáil shall sit later than 8.30 p.m. tonight and shall be interrupted on the adjournment of Private Members' Business.

The deal was not...

Order of Business (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: I note the comments made by Mr. Peter Bacon, who was the original author of the NAMA concept. He made a point about public interest directors and whether they are entitled to comment on the situation in so far as NAMA is concerned. Has the Minister for Finance asked the public interest directors for their views on Mr. Bacon's comments?

EU-IMF Programme for Ireland and National Recovery Plan 2011-14: Statements (30 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: I hope the Taoiseach is not accusing me or the Fine Gael Party of introducing language such as "banjaxery" or "morbid corpses" in respect of our country. I spoke the truth when I said that the decision made last weekend has foisted upon the shoulders of every single person in the country a debt that will not be paid off for a generation or more. That is the truth of the Ireland that we live...
