Order of Business (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Ceann Comhairle would like me to raise it through Private Members' time and then be accused of wasting time. This is a case where the appropriate committee can deal with it.

Order of Business (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I can see no reason why the Government will not allow this to happen. It is clearly a case of where, on the one hand, the Government considered the Ombudsman's report and, on the other, that one of its Members was mentioned in it. The Government has come down in favour of a Government Deputy.

Order of Business (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I have not accused Deputy Fahey of anything. Instead, I am giving him the opportunity to go to the appropriate committee and deal with questions that need to be answered in respect of the Ombudsman's report. It is not a report from a political party.

Leaders' Questions (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: What has been exposed at Tallaght hospital is perhaps the best example of the national failure of this Government. It is one of the best examples of the abject failure of the Minister for Health and Children to live up to the responsibility for immediate care that was given to her following her appointment to that position. It is unconscionable that a number of people - more than twice the...

Leaders' Questions (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: It is very difficult to verbalise the impact on people who had X-rays carried out in Tallaght hospital and who possibly have serious problems. We know that one person is being treated for cancer and that another person died. There may well be some who have tumours that have not been detected because the X-ray has not been read by a radiologist. Can the Taoiseach supply me with the list of...

Public Service Reform. (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach made reference to the establishment of a Department to deal with public sector reform. Regardless of whatever adjustment he makes in the next few weeks, will he address this question by giving responsibility to a Minister or Minister of State to deal with public service reform? As the Taoiseach is aware, such a position was allocated many years ago to a Minister of State who...

Public Service Reform. (10 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: In respect of specific public service changes, the Taoiseach said he would engage with public service unions to bring about change as speedily as possible, a comment which was made before the collapse in the social partnership talks last year. The country is now faced with an increasingly uncertain situation whereby public sector workers, including teachers and health care workers, are...

Legislative Programme. (9 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: In respect of legislative priorities, has the Government decided yet on a date for the referendum on children's rights and the reinstatement of the criminal offence of statutory rape? I commend the members of the committee dealing with children's issues which has produced and finalised its report, statements on which will be heard in the Dáil. Given the litany of failures by the State,...
