Enda Kenny: The Ceann Comhairle is getting agitated.

Northern Ireland Issues. (3 Feb 2010)

Enda Kenny: The grouping of these questions is not good, a Cheann Comhairle. There are many questions about Northern Ireland, some about Ireland-US relations and one about the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. These could have been grouped better. It is not satisfactory for Members. Everybody here supports the Government's efforts to assist in bringing the provisions of the Good Friday Agreement to a...

Northern Ireland Issues. (3 Feb 2010)

Enda Kenny: Does the Taoiseach share my view that the triggering of an Assembly election in the short term could be divisive and could produce an unworkable result? Does the proposal put forward by the two Governments differ in many respects from the points of discussion between the DUP and Sinn Féin? Are there significant differences between the proposals that were to be published by the Governments...

Northern Ireland Issues. (3 Feb 2010)

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2010)

Enda Kenny: These are very fretful times for families in this country. When the Taoiseach came to power in May 2008 the number on the live register was 202,000. The Central Statistics Office will release the comparable figure this morning at 11 a.m. for January 2010. Will the Taoiseach inform the House of what that figure is?

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2010)

Enda Kenny: Those are devastating figures. Following on the Exchequer returns yesterday, they are a litany of despair from a Government that has failed to put any plan or strategy in place to deal with this situation. There is no point in drifting onwards and looking back in six months to see what might have happened. It is apparent from the Exchequer returns yesterday that every tax is down, but...

Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2010)

If the Government is serious about making things happen it needs to change its ways and...
