- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Serious fees are being paid to legal personnel. My understanding is that the Attorney General advised the tribunal of the legality of the change of ownership in respect of the consortium bidding for the licence. It has come to light only recently that this was a fact. How could legal personnel paid at premium rates on a daily basis make a fundamental error such as that, and the legal...

- Leaders' Questions (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Last weekend, the EU finance ministers put together a package of â¬750 billion for the relief of distressed eurozone economies. I am disappointed that the Dáil did not have an opportunity to discuss the matter, as allowed under the Lisbon treaty, in advance of its being considered by the EU ministers. While the new mechanism is necessary, it is insufficient in so far as it will not deal...
- Leaders' Questions (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach can add the â¬20 billion he put into the banks to all the figures he mentioned. I asked why the â¬100 million enterprise stabilisation fund was cut by â¬22 million when it was designed specifically to get employers and businesses that were trading over this economic crisis. In both 2008 and 2009 Deputies Bruton and Varadkar, on behalf of the Fine Gael Party, put forward a...
- Leaders' Questions (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: In the interests of taking some of the 430,000 people on the live register off the dole and encouraging employers to avail of this fund, which the Minister for Finance announced in this Budget Statement last December, will the Taoiseach give a commitment that inside one month he will stand by the Government's word and ensure the â¬36 million PRSI holiday for employers who take on new...

- Order of Business (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach consider providing an opportunity some time next week for a discussion on the â¬750 billion fund agreed last week by the Ministers of the eurozone countries, and Ireland's proposal to add to this by dealing with competitiveness, investment and growth, so that we can present a clear picture of what we are doing to other countries? Last Thursday, I raised certain questions...

- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Last week a woman who is the mother of two intellectually challenged children called to see me. Her husband did not make a full declaration in respect of social welfare and now the Department wants â¬8,000 back from him immediately.
- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: I will make my point. I refer to the time of the previous Attorney General. There was what is known as an error of transcription in respect of legal fees paid to senior counsel. These were determined at â¬2,250 but the error of transcription stated â¬2,500. There was no pay back because it was deemed it would be appropriate, as an exceptional measure, to leave it the way it was. I...
- Tribunals of Inquiry (11 May 2010)

- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: When does the Government expect to introduce the Bill to allow for a directly elected mayor for Dublin? What is the position on holding a referendum on children's rights this year? This has been committed to. The all-party Oireachtas committee did a great deal of work on the matter and a proposed wording was agreed. Has the Government decided to hold such a referendum this year? When...
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Arising from the Tánaiste's second response, the Government has already committed to having a referendum. The work being done by the Minister of State, Deputy Barry Andrews, is to consider the agreed wording proposed by the Oireachtas committee, representative of all parties. Given that the Government has committed to holding a referendum, can we take it that referendum will be held ion...
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: Am I right in saying the process is that the Minister of State will report to the Government on his deliberations on the wording of the all-party Oireachtas committee and the Government will then decide whether the referendum should be held this year?
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: The appropriate way is to determine a date for a referendum and get on with it. However, the Government is afraid to have that referendum along with three by-elections because it is terrified what the electorate will do to it.
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: We are not one bit terrified. The Government knows the game is up.
- Order of Business (6 May 2010)
Enda Kenny: The Government is asleep.
