Leaders' Questions. (15 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I am disappointed by the Tánaiste's response as she is usually better briefed. She states it is the Government's job to meet these challenges and that it will do so. Obviously, however, there has been a complete failure here. I do not know if the Tánaiste is aware that only 34 extra gardaí have been drafted in this year. Let me provide some examples of where the Government has fallen down...

Leaders' Questions. (15 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: Currently, no operational computerisation of the system has been implemented. The ban on mobile telephones while driving was to be introduced after the announcement in August 2001 by the then Minister of State at the Department of the Environment and Local Government, Bobby Molloy. In 2005, no legislation has yet been enacted to introduce fixed penalties for driving while using a mobile...

Order of Business. (15 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: Day after sitting day, week after sitting week, Deputy after Deputy raises issues of concern under Standing Order 31. I cannot recall when you, a Cheann Comhairle, in your wisdom allowed one of these previously, although a few were allowed during the past 30 years. When will Deputies of all parties and none have a facility to raise matters of concern that can be dealt with adequately by...

European Issues. (21 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I was disappointed at the outcome of the summit meeting in Brussels. Last year, at the summit of leaders of the EPP, I proposed that all countries requiring to hold a referendum should do so on the same day so that one country's decision would not prejudice another's. Unfortunately, that is what has happened. Arising from that, does the Taoiseach intend to put the Bill dealing with...

Leaders' Questions. (21 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: Three weeks ago today, on 31 May, we discussed the Leas Cross nursing home and the unacceptable practices that the "Prime Time" television programme exposed there. Today we read that the Health Service Executive is to move all public patients out of Leas Cross and have the nursing home closed. Such a level of activity on the part of the Health Service Executive since the "Prime Time"...

Leaders' Questions. (21 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: In his Ard-Fheis speech two years ago, the Taoiseach said in respect of those who would put their own interests before the national interest that he would see to it that his Government would use all its power to put the people first. On 1 June, the Taoiseach told the House, "the problem in the Leas Cross case was not a lack of inspections". Are we to understand that the nursing home...

European Council Meetings: Statements. (21 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: Last week's summit shows that Europe is going through a storm. However, it is not yet time to take to the lifeboats. The public comments made by Heads of Government during and after the summit were unprecedented in their tone and content. That said, it was the week that saw the anniversary of the battle of Waterloo. Naturally, the results of the referendums in France and the Netherlands made...
