Leaders' Questions. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: I apologise to the Taoiseach. In the last number of weeks I have had the opportunity to attend public meetings in Dublin dealing with antisocial behaviour. At a dozen or so of those meetings it was obvious that there is serious concern among members of the public at the rate of increase in the figures for assaults and so on. Deputy Richard Bruton has released information given to him arising...

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach deserves some type of accolade for the confusion that comes out in his answers at all times. The source of this information is not some pie in the sky. Rather, it is the reply to a parliamentary question given on Tuesday, 10 May 2005. These are the official statistics from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform as given to Deputy Bruton. For the Taoiseach's...

Leaders' Questions. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: In 17 out of the 18 Dublin districts headline offences are up and detection rates for offences are down. This is appalling in terms of the Government's ability to ensure the public are protected from vandals, thugs, criminals and gangland warfare. The Taoiseach has failed utterly in this respect.

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: The report on the programme for Government is a litany of failure. For example, in the area of health, the promised extra 200,000 medical cards have not been delivered. In June 2002, a total of 1.207 million people were covered by medical cards and in April 2005 only 1.145 million were covered. That is a failure.

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: I am speaking to the Head of Government who is responsible for the programme for Government and the Ceann Comhairle tells me I am not entitled to ask him a question.

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Why is there no competition in the Dublin bus market, which is part of the agreed programme for Government? I could go on and on but the Ceann Comhairle is ruling me out of order. The Taoiseach might comment on the six questions I have raised about the implementation of this programme.

Programmes for Government. (25 May 2005)

Enda Kenny: Whether the Taoiseach answers, he does not have to misconstrue what the Chair said. I always respect the Chair's rulings.
