Public Procurement Policy. (3 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I attended the forum on public procurement that was held in the Westbury Hotel last week. An official from the European Commission who was present at that forum made the point that 17% of the contracts relating to tenders for public procurement in Ireland that are advertised in the Official Journal of the European Union are awarded to non-Irish companies based in other countries. The EU...

Public Procurement Policy. (3 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. It is unfortunate that, by virtue of the number of public procurement contracts awarded to non-Irish companies based in other countries, we are exporting our own business.

Enda Kenny: When I raised this matter with the Taoiseach some weeks ago the information available to him was that the report of the Moriarty tribunal was expected to be published in March.

Order of Business (3 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I know it is the prerogative of the Taoiseach to appoint whoever he wishes to serve in his Cabinet. Is he aware of an apparent internal or secret arrangement which might oblige him to make other adjustments to the personnel in his Cabinet?

Enda Kenny: Under what standing order are you making that ruling, a Cheann Comhairle? This matter is strictly in order. I merely seek Government time for discussion of the details of this statutory instrument. It is a matter of considerable importance to people throughout the country.

Order of Business (3 Mar 2010)

Enda Kenny: I know you said yesterday, a Cheann Comhairle, that you do not interfere in rulings by Chairmen of committees. However, we cannot gloss over this issue by making statements on it in the Dáil. There is only one other instance of a parliament refusing to accept the independence of an ombudsman's request or to act upon it. There is conflict here between a Member of the Dáil and an...
