Computerisation Programme. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I note that Accenture's sixth annual report on global e-Government places Ireland at 14th place along with five other nations. That gives us the category of follower in terms of overall e-Government service maturity. What is the position regarding the public service broker or PSB as it is called? I understand this is a computer infrastructure project that will allow Departments to interact...

Order of Business. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach provided a number of replies earlier in respect of legislation on nursing homes. Would it be possible to re-prioritise that matter? Last year, we had seven examples of emergency legislation introduced by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, and other Ministers did so also. It appears that if real priority is accorded to some legislation it can come before the...

I do...

Order of Business. (2 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: That is not agreed. Only two fifths of the Cabinet members are present. The Taoiseach is absent, as is the Tánaiste and the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform. As of this morning, we have no chief executive-designate of the Health Service Executive. As Oscar Wilde said in another context, to lose one is bad, but to lose two is careless. We need a debate on this matter, as well as...

Order of Business. (2 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I compliment Mr. Justice Morris on his clear and lucid report which is outstanding in the clarity of its language and the directness of its findings.

Freedom of Information. (14 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I suppose the Taoiseach has to try to find a different form of words to deal with these questions which come up on a regular basis, no more than supplementary questions.
