- National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach is speaking about an election at some time in 2011. God forbid that would happen. I wish we were now in the throes of an election that would bring the certainty and clarity spoken of by the Taoiseach. I met an engineer the other day who is 23 years old and fully qualified. He told me he had a permanent visa for Australia and was going to travel to and stay there as he would...
- National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I saw the Minister for Finance present this document yesterday. I heard him say previously that he invited robust political debate, which I respect. I like Deputy Brian Lenihan on a personal basis. What I saw and heard yesterday was an act of supreme arrogance, as the Minister said any other plan or alternative is nonsense.

- National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: This Minister presided over the greatest economic catastrophe in this nation's history and along with the Taoiseach, he has invited people from abroad and the IMF to this country because the Government has led us to a position where we have never been before. The founders of the Taoiseach's party never envisaged that our economic sovereignty would be cast away. The Minister for Finance came...

- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: If the Government is so confident that this plan which it has been forced to bring in here is the path to recovery for the country, why does the Taoiseach not put down a motion and have it approved by the Dáil by vote?
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I do not accept this. This plan is not the path to recovery. There are issues in it with which I agree, but it does not go far enough to rectify the state of the nation.
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: I do not accept the Order of Business as proposed. If the Government is stating that this is a first step or this is the path towards a first step, then let us adjudicate on what the Taoiseach considers is the path of recovery. There are areas in it with which I do not agree. There are areas on which the Government does not go far enough. The Government's growth plan is non-existent. It...

- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach clarify again the proposed date for the introduction of the Social Welfare Bill and does he expect it to be approved before the Christmas recess? What is the proposed date for the introduction of the Finance Bill which, as he knows, gives legal effect to measures in the budget? The Dáil will meet for nine more working days before the Christmas recess and according to the...
- Order of Business (25 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: That is if the usual circumstances apply and nothing happens to disrupt that situation. In view of the observations from Europe, the longer things drift before the enactment of the Finance Bill, the more difficult it will be for taxpayers and Ireland because of the restrictions that will apply in respect of measures that may have to be drawn down from the contingency fund.
- Order of Business (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: When is it expected that the Social Welfare (Miscellaneous Provisions) Bill will come before the House? Is it the intention of the Government to debate and deal with it before the House rises for the Christmas recess? I checked the calendar today and there are about ten working days left, if the number is not extended. If the Government sticks by 7 December for the budget does it intend to...

- Constitutional Issues (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: What is the position with regard to the legislation required to place the Children First guidelines on a statutory footing? The Taoiseach will be aware that said legislation relates to the use of soft information. Is he in a position to outline the position in this regard? I understand the legislation could have been enacted this year if priority had been accorded to it.
- Constitutional Issues (24 Nov 2010)
Enda Kenny: Is the Taoiseach in a position to indicate the current state of play regarding the referendum on children's rights?
