Church-State Dialogue (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I wish to ask the Taoiseach three questions, two on this matter and one on another. First, the independent panel that reported last November assessed the statements of the religious congregations. I understand that the final cost of the responses was approximately €1.36 billion, of which 50% was to be provided by the religious congregations. They made an offer of €348.51 million,...

Church-State Dialogue (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I believe in the process of the structured dialogue that has been running for a number of years. Is there a timetable for meetings? Do these conversations take place once or twice a year or is the programme devised by the Government? Is a specific agenda or theme followed or do conversations arise from the circumstances that are topical in the news? I took the opportunity to meet the...

Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I was not the only person absolutely appalled by the revelation at the Oireachtas committee last week by Mr. Aynsley, the chief executive of Anglo Irish Bank, to the effect that the €22 billion put into that bank by the taxpayer will never be seen again and will end up in a black hole. Given that the Taoiseach gave a personal promise to the House on 1 October 2008 that the Irish taxpayer...

Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: That is not the question I asked. I asked whether the Taoiseach accepts that the majority of the €22 billion to be put into Anglo Irish Bank will, in the words of Mr. Aynsley, never be seen again. The Taoiseach said that Mr. Aynsley told us what the situation is and went on to say that in the event of an immediate liquidation, this would cost €142 billion. Nobody is talking about an...

Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: ----- and which Mr. Aynsley, the chief executive states "will never be seen again". The alternative is for the Government to change its policy by making some of those lenders and investors share the pain equally. It then would be able to hold onto some of the aforementioned 40,000 jobs that could be created. In addition, it could bring about a situation in which income could be generated...

Leaders' Questions. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: Moreover, the reduction proposed by the Government of €11 billion over the next three years will cost 40,000 jobs. I again ask the Taoiseach whether he accepts the Aynsley assertion that this is dead money in a dead bank in a black hole? Consequently, is he prepared to change tack and change policy and make those lenders and investors share some of the pain in respect of Anglo Irish Bank?

Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: This is the annual reoccurrence of the guillotine, an unusual weapon used in the French Revolution. I do not wish the situation to arise where we have a series of guillotined Bills between now and the summer recess. Only four or five amendments have been tabled in respect of the Electricity Regulation (Amendment) (Carbon Revenue Levy) Bill. I am informed that perhaps an hour's discussion...

Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I have made my point about guillotines. I do not wish to unduly hold up the time of the House by voting against it, except to say to the Government Whip not to come in with a rash of guillotines between now and the rising of the Dáil for the summer recess.

Order of Business. (22 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: I ask the Taoiseach if he can report any progress on the wording for the children's referendum and if the referendum is likely to be held this year. Last week, following the publication of the Saville report, I asked that an agreed motion be unanimously passed by the House in respect of it. Has anything happened in that regard? Is it expected that the Government will hold a debate next week...
