Ministerial Appointments (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: What message does that send out to other people of status, integrity and ability who might want to assist the State by giving of their experience to a State board? If they bring issues of concern to the Minister involved, they may be asked to resign. That is not the message we want to send out. I do not want to go through the list of our absent friends from the House, but it is incredible...

Code of Conduct for Office Holders (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is about Deputy Ahern publicising his career as a football commentator. I remember standing in Mount Street on the night - the Taoiseach probably remembers it too - Desmond O'Malley was expelled from the Fianna Fáil Party for what was termed "conduct unbecoming". This is a person who was given the honour and esteem of-----

Code of Conduct for Office Holders (20 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: Hold on, a Cheann Comhairle. The person I am referring to was elected as the Taoiseach of this country on three occasions, an honour that is almost unique. He is still in receipt of public moneys for his service as a public representative.

Enda Kenny: My question was whether the Taoiseach recalled getting a request from the Minister for Transport in accordance with the Cabinet 2007 handbook, which stipulates a request must be made to the Taoiseach in such matters. Given that the car was going there and the PSNI had to be instructed as regards security, perhaps the Taoiseach might like to comment on that. Just before Deputy Gilmore comes...
