IFSC Clearing House Group (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: I will have to give the Deputy an up-to-date report on the group's activities. I will send it on to him later.

IFSC Clearing House Group (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: The programme we launched with the IFSC has a target of creating 10,000 net new jobs over the next several years. Obviously, this is not a situation that will stay static because, as the Deputy knows, it is the most mobile of all employments. That is why it is necessary that there be constant vigilance about keeping the IFSC very attractive, which it is anyway and has a high rating from...

IFSC Clearing House Group (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: The British Government, for which I do not speak, is opposed to a financial transaction tax. The Irish Government has made its position clear on this. I do not share Deputy Higgins's view that the greening issue is a bad joke. I actually believe investment in green and renewable energy, such as pumped-storage hydroelectricity and wind-generated electricity, are worthwhile and achievable...

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: In respect of the fiscal compact - the stability treaty - clearly a referendum is to be held here. Do not mind what "they" say, Deputy. "They" always say things and "they" are always right. That is what "they" say.

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: When one talks about anything in the country, that is what "they" say.

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: What I want Deputy Higgins to understand is that, when the Government makes a decision on any of these matters, it will be communicated immediately to the people in the same way we did when, following the agreement of the text of the treaty, we asked the Attorney General directly for formal legal advice. When that became available, we immediately made known the decision to the people. We...

Enda Kenny: -----and to get on with the business of dealing with the conditions of public procurement and so on. The Government will make its decision in regard to that at its next meeting.

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: That is not necessary. This fiscal compact is not an EU treaty. It is an intergovernmental treaty dealing with the stability of the fiscal compact, as the Deputy is aware. I have outlined for the Deputy the process that was approved this morning. The next stage of that will be to consider the referendum Bill, set up the referendum commission and deal with the conditions of public...

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: There is a procedure to be followed for the holding of a referendum. The Government is committed to that and we will follow the process that we have to put in place to comply with the conditions of holding a referendum. Clearly, the ratification of the stability treaty means countries that do not ratify the stability treaty will not in any eventuality be able to draw funding from the ESM....

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Enda Kenny: We have not decided on the date for a vote in respect of the fiscal stability treaty. The position is that it is clear in the fiscal treaty that private sector involvement was taken out because it was deemed by the European Council that the situation in Greece was unique to Greece. It is also clear from the stability treaty that countries that fail to ratify the treaty will not be able to...

Enda Kenny: -----and will continue to draw funding from that programme until 2013, when we hope to be able to emerge from it, retrieve our economic sovereignty and fly on our own.

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)
