I...

Order of Business (17 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: It might be agreed on the other side of the House, but at least we have been consistent in objecting to Bills being guillotined through here. If business had been better regulated by the House, these matters could have been separated and dealt with thoroughly and comprehensively, as they should be. For that reason, I object to it again.

Order of Business (17 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: I do not wish to push it to a full vote. Question, "That the proposal for dealing with No. 41 be agreed to," put and declared carried.

Order of Business (17 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: I disagree with this proposal and propose that the Dáil would resume on 13 January 2010 as was the original intention in the list of sessions circulated by the Government Whip. I repeat that it provides an opportunity for serious discussion here about serious issues. We are expected to have a situation where, possibly in the first quarter of next year, the Government, through the...

Has it considered the fact that legislation will have to be introduced to give effect to such an enquiry? In that context, has...

I move amendment No. 1: To delete the words "that the Dáil, on its rising today, shall adjourn until 2.30 p.m. on Tuesday, 19 January 2010" and substitute "that the Dáil, on its rising today, shall adjourn until 2.30 p.m. on Wednesday, 13 January 2010".

Order of Business (17 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: I understand but I am telling you, a Cheann Comhairle, why I do not agree with the Order of Business. The most important element of today's business is the last proposal. The original calendar of Dáil sittings circulated by the Chief Whip proposed the Dáil should meet on 13 January. While the calendar states it is subject to change, there is no reason that the Dáil should wait until 19...

Order of Business (17 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: Are we seriously contemplating putting that kind of money into a failed bank without even a Dáil debate? This is another reason the Dáil should have ample opportunity to discuss these matters. Every business in the State believes energy costs are way too high. It is time to address the elephant in the corner of the room and discuss the break-up of the ESB. While keeping the transmission...

Order of Business (16 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: Long ago.

Order of Business (16 Dec 2009)

Enda Kenny: I have made this point before. When I first came to the House as a young Deputy many years ago, Major Vivion de Valera used to object to this every year. He used to ask how the Government of the day could put through all the Estimates with a rubber stamp. The Minister, Deputy Ó Cuív, will remember that from the records.
