Leaders' Questions. (19 Oct 2005)

Enda Kenny: If the Taoiseach is not prepared to give political direction, that is a clear indication he is on his way out of office. The Taoiseach should note that I did not arrive at any conclusion about Monaghan hospital. I did not ask him to issue an individual direction in respect of any hospital. We are talking about the competence of the health service and the health authority and about 200,000...

Leaders' Questions. (19 Oct 2005)

Enda Kenny: It has not yet concluded because the Tánaiste is giving directions to the Taoiseach.
