Order of Business (13 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: -----after he read out the rules. My point is that Mr. Alan Gray has a very different view from what was said in this House yesterday. The Taoiseach said he was shooting the breeze, having a chat with people and that it was purely a social evening.

Order of Business (13 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: I ask the Tánaiste to report to the House on the current position regarding the sale of EBS. Does the Government intend to have an input into a report that there are to be discussions next week at the ECOFIN meeting about the possibility of a reduction in the IMF level of interest that Ireland is paying?

Leaders' Questions (12 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: The longer this sham of a Government continues, the more unfortunate it is for our people and for our country. Last Sunday, the Sunday Times revealed two hitherto undisclosed meetings between the Taoiseach - both formerly, as Minister for Finance, and as Taoiseach - and Mr. Seán FitzPatrick of Anglo Irish Bank. I want to make it clear that I have no objection to the Taoiseach meeting...

Enda Kenny: -----whose sister has mobility problems and who has now lost her job, and so many thousands of people who see their wages and salary cheques being reduced by higher income taxes and other levies. I have two questions for the Taoiseach. First, can we now take it that the three occasions where he met Mr. FitzPatrick and where he was in contact with him - the telephone call to Kuala Lumpur on...

Leaders' Questions (12 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has taken quite a long time to answer two simple questions I asked him. He did not answer either of them. I made no assertion against him.

Leaders' Questions (12 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: It is a bit like the last days of the Taoiseach's predecessor when we had all the explanations about dollar and sterling deposits and Fianna Fáil money for people to buy houses.

Leaders' Questions (12 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach spoke for at least ten or 12 minutes in his response. I did not ask the Taoiseach whether Mr. FitzPatrick whinged or moaned his way around the golf course, or even whether he gave him that putt or who took the money, if there was money on the game. The Taoiseach offered a long litany. He quoted Professor Honohan and did so last weekend. What happened in July 2008 is referred...
