Termination of Ministerial Appointment: Announcement by Taoiseach (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I hope it does not turn out like some of the other things of which the Taoiseach has been in charge. At least he will be able to get away legitimately to do business on behalf of the country.

Termination of Ministerial Appointment: Announcement by Taoiseach (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I wish to ask the Taoiseach about the bonus culture that is alive and well in the banks. The Minister for Finance gave misleading information to the Dáil recently when he stated that no bonuses were being paid. The information provided by the Minister was given to him falsely by Bank of Ireland in respect of bonuses paid to personnel working in that institution. In the context of...

Termination of Ministerial Appointment: Announcement by Taoiseach (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: These banks are running rings around the Government. Has the Taoiseach or the Department of Finance determined who authorised the giving of false information to the Minister for Finance? Second, has the Taoiseach sought a report from the public interest directors, who should have been aware that such bonuses were being paid? Third, can the Taoiseach inform the House how much money has been...

Enda Kenny: I asked the Taoiseach a couple of other questions. I asked him what is the responsibility and role of the public interest directors. Has the Taoiseach ascertained from them whether any information was given about these bonuses? Second, how much money has been paid out in such bonuses? Are Members to believe the Taoiseach, who is the Head of Government, does not know or has not the...

Termination of Ministerial Appointment: Announcement by Taoiseach (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: Moreover, no public service pay cuts have been applied to the NTMA. This must end, as the workers who will receive reduced salaries over the coming weeks know full well that the decreases in their salaries are going to pay these banks and bonuses and the Taoiseach should put a stop to it. The Fine Gael Party proposed a legislative amendment to the effect that when such bonuses were paid,...

Termination of Ministerial Appointment: Announcement by Taoiseach (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I will repeat my question, namely, how much has been paid in bonuses to Bank of Ireland officials? What has been the responsibility of the public interest directors? Has the Taoiseach called in Mr. Walsh and his colleague to make a report? Does the Taoiseach intend to claw back and put an end to this bonus culture that is driving a sense of unfairness in people and which in part is causing...

Official Engagements (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I share the Taoiseach's view, and that of the Labour Party leader, on Ireland's 12.5% corporation tax rate. At the previous summit meeting of the European People's Party, EPP, I made it clear this rate is fundamental to Ireland's attractiveness for foreign direct investment and that any movement from that would represent a massive breach of trust. Accordingly, any revision of it cannot be...

Order of Business. (19 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I understand there were to be discussions between the Taoiseach and the leader of the Green Party about the arrangements for the Finance Bill. Do the arrangements, as circulated by the Taoiseach, stand or does he accept the offer I made yesterday to co-operate with the Government in having a more practical and efficient conclusion to the Bill? The Taoiseach and I both know it is possible to...
