Order of Business (5 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach said legislation would come before the House in regard to Ireland's decision to participate in the European bail-out of Greece.

Order of Business (5 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: A fundamental facility for those elected to this House is the receipt of answers to parliamentary questions. These answers are not being made available at present because of an industrial dispute. However, I understand that in some, if not all, cases, Ministers are able to get information supplied to them in the course of their duty. Is the situation to be one whereby all parliamentary...

Order of Business (5 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: If we were to have a debate and statements in the House we could have all that information from the Minister for Finance, Deputy Lenihan, who has briefed the Cabinet. However, nobody else in the House knows the conditions and terms that apply to these bilateral loans. It is in everybody's interest that we have a full and thorough discussion about this. It is important for the European...

Order of Business (5 May 2010)

In the interests of having everybody in the House treated equally in terms of the...

Task Force on Innovation (5 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: Perhaps the Taoiseach will indicate three recommendations from the innovation report that have been implemented. Given that his nominee, Commissioner Máire Geoghegan-Quinn, has been appointed to an important and influential position in terms of innovation, which has a €50 billion budget, does the Taoiseach intend to send the task force to meet the Commissioner in a European context or to...

Task Force on Innovation (5 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: I am aware of that. That is the reason it is important the Commissioner is in a position to outline to Government and, in particular, to the task force, her plans so that Ireland can get in early to make a pitch for whatever might be appropriate for us. The terms of reference delineated by the Taoiseach are precisely what we have been talking about for ages, namely, forcing down Government...
