- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: Last Thursday was a black day for Ireland's economy and people. It was the day we were finally told the cost of the failure of the Government's banking strategy - â¬50 billion. It was also revealed that as a direct consequence of that, there will now be a need for a much tougher budget to be introduced because, we are told, the country will not be able to borrow money on the international...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach accept that the citizen and the taxpayer will have to pay directly for the failure of the Government's banking strategy? What level of cut is the Government considering for the 2011 budget? Is it â¬3 billion, â¬3.5 billion, â¬4 billion or, as some commentators suggest, more than â¬4 billion? I ask the Deputy to try to maintain some accuracy in the context of what...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: I asked the Taoiseach two questions. The first was whether he was prepared to accept that it is the citizens and the ordinary taxpayers who will have to pay for the failure of banking strategy. We had comments from the Minister for Finance, and indeed from the Taoiseach and other Ministers, that a wind-down of Anglo Irish Bank would be catastrophic and that the proposals put forward by the...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: -----and will engage constructively with the Government in that regard. What has happened is that the hopes and the spirits of hundreds of thousands of people have been shattered by what they were told last year, namely, that if they made these contributions and sacrifices, it would go a long way towards sorting out the position. That is not the truth of the matter. We have a situation now...
- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: -----and there is no assistance from banks to allow them continue and do their business. How can this party, any other party or even the Government decide to put forward its plan for the 2011 budget if it does not know the figure and the target or what are to be the scale of cuts? I ask the question again Taoiseach. Is the figure â¬3 billion, â¬3.5 billion or â¬4 billion because this...

- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: Has the Taoiseach decided on the figure?
- Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: So the Taoiseach does not know the scale of what is involved, whether it is â¬3.5 billion or â¬4 billion.
- Order of Business (5 Oct 2010)
Enda Kenny: Would the Taoiseach like to comment on the information available to him consequent on the bomb in Derry, an issue of serious concern? The House has discussed the security issue over the past 18 months or so and clearly the threat, which was referred to by the Garda Commissioner, the Chief of the PSNI and the head of MI5, has now become a reality. I assure the Taoiseach of the full and total...
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: It is not agreed. Ireland wakes up this morning to another national crisis. People find themselves owning another bank when most people only wish to own their own homes. The Order of Business as presented by the Government is a typical response that constitutes business as usual. However, it is not business as usual. While the Taoiseach never has had any willingness to change the manner...
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: I intend to contribute to this debate.
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: The credibility of the Government, the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance in respect of banking strategy is now in tatters. I am appalled at the number of cases I have already encountered this morning of people who are concerned that lending practices will now become even tighter and that credit will not be extended to business with obvious consequential difficulties. However, for the...
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: This is not a time for hysterical reaction, nor is it a time for a panic-stricken reaction. The fundamental problem that the Government now faces and in which it has landed the country is that even if it produces four-year fiscal or banking plans or four-year growth projections, they will have no credibility. They will be treated in the same way by the markets as the Taoiseach's...
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: -----costed them and circulated them. We made our case about subordinated bond investors taking a portion of the hit. We need to tease out the Government's view on senior bondholders and the terms that are to be negotiated. The Minister for Finance was quite circumspect about this matter this morning. This is a most serious set of circumstances, catastrophic for many. The Government seems...
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: I accept what the Taoiseach is saying. Will there be an opportunity, at the end of whatever time is agreed for an extended debate, for questions to the Minister for Finance?
- Order of Business (30 Sep 2010)
Enda Kenny: That would be acceptable.
