Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: I agree with Deputy Gilmore and was going to raise this matter at the end of the Order of Business in connection with item No. 5.

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: In any event, this epitomises what is wrong with this Government; it dithers over every issue. The problem the Tánaiste and Government face is whether to publish the report. Publish it and be damned. If the Government did not want to publish the report, it should have asked Mr. McCarthy not to supply it until the end of September.

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: There is now no option but to publish it. Deputy Dooley is entitled to his opinion. There are secret deals with Deputies Finian McGrath, Michael Lowry and Jackie Healy-Rae that will not be published either.

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: I am not sure whether Deputy O'Rourke, who is not here, will get a copy from her nephew to read over the weekend. I believe the Tánaiste should publish this as soon as it is given to the Minister for Finance because the public has a right to know. If she continues to hold on to it until after the Lisbon referendum, matters will be made worse for the Government. It should be published now...

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: Leak the nice bits.

Order of Business (9 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: This is a touchy subject. I have made my point on the principle of guillotines but I want to be clear that because this item refers to Members of this House I will not call a vote. I do not want my intention to be misconstrued.

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: This may be the last opportunity we have to question the Taoiseach before the vote for the House to rise for the summer recess. It is perfectly obvious to everybody that there is a jobs crisis. I was looking at the Taoiseach's acceptance speech on his appointment to office and noted it contained no reference at all, good, bad or indifferent, to jobs, either in English or Irish. Some of the...

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has pointed out three objectives of the Government. When appointed as Taoiseach, he said, "We know only too well from our relatively recent economic history that the wrong policies, the wrong decisions, the wrong behaviour, can carry a very high price in an economy as open and dependent on international trade as we are." These words are true. The IMF report, which we debated...

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: Yes. The Government parties will all vote on it later despite the fact that all over the country Fianna Fáil Deputies are on local radio stations saying the House should sit through all of July.

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: On this last day of questions to the Taoiseach, in the interests of moving our country forward and of transcending the normal political cut and thrust, I offer our plan to him. If he takes it and implements it I will give him credit and support him.

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: I await the Taoiseach's considered opinion. Will he take that and agree that while it may have flaws it has the capacity to protect and create 180,000 jobs? Surely any Taoiseach should examine that on the basis of his own words that jobs are the priority.

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: Our policy was made clear before the Government's budget.

Leaders' Questions (8 Jul 2009)

Government and Church Dialogue. (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: Question 4: To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his recent meetings with the church and faith communities; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [27136/09]

Government and Church Dialogue. (8 Jul 2009)

Enda Kenny: I wish to ask the Taoiseach a different question. The 18 religious congregations that were involved in the religious residential institutions that gave rise to the Ryan report have agreed to present their detailed reports by 15 July, which is the end of next week. I understand, from the Government's response to this proposal, that a three-person panel will be set up to report back initially...
