Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: Tá sé foilsithe. Is dócha go mbeidh díospóireacht ag cruinniú na nAoirí ionas go mbeidh sé ar an gclár díospóireachta. Níl mé cinnte cathain go díreach a dtarlóidh an díospóireacht sin, ach cuirfidh mé scéal chuig an Teachta faoi.

He has already set out his views and indicated the nature of the legislation he intends to introduce to deal with the question of corporate donations to political parties. He is well advanced in drafting that legislation.

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Finance has already made it perfectly clear in his letter to the Commissioner, Mr. Rehn, that the documentation required to be sent to the Commission because of the mess in which we found ourselves was sent from the Commission to the staff of the committee concerned. That is the trail. Deputy Dooley wanted to know how that happened.

Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Order of Business (22 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: Is breá liom Gaeilge Daingean Uí Chúis a chloisteáil anseo. Gabhaim buíochas leis an Teachta. Is fíor go bhfoilseófar an Bille faoi chaighdeán maireachtála na n-ainmhithe roimh an Nollaig. Beidh an Bille faoi luach an chíos ar tithe, mar a thug an Teachta air, foilsithe roimh an Nollaig freisin. Tá an tríúábhar a d'ardaigh an Teachta - cúrsaí pinsin - freagartha agam go...

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: The first point the Deputy made relates to the 30 questions that were tabled about Europe. He queried taking them all together. When one goes through them they are all relevant to the same set of problems, either meetings with leaders, bilateral meetings, meetings of the eurozone, the European Union or the ECB. I am not sure how we could split up those questions with any relevance other...

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Boyd Barrett tabled seven or eight questions that are all practically the same. He is waiting for an opportunity to comment and he is entitled to that. My point is that one question from Deputy Adams or Deputy Martin will generally cover the same spectrum anyway.

Official Engagements (22 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: I cannot give Deputy Adams any such guarantee in respect of treaty change. The eurozone is facing a crisis and it must be dealt with in the immediate future. The next meeting is planned for 9 December. Government leaders and Heads of Government will have to make decisions that will deal with the issue. A range of decisions was made about the EFSF at the previous meeting, which had at its...
