Leaders' Questions (18 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: There is a chasm of anger out there. The Taoiseach is in a position to do something and send out a message both nationally and internationally that a change of direction is taking place in Irish banking and financial institutions, in which we now have no trust or confidence. Who made the decision not to pursue the ten members of the so-called golden circle? Is the Government not going to go...

Leaders' Questions (18 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: If a decision has been taken not to pursue these ten persons, that will not happen either. The Government states one thing with regard to nationalisation, while in possession of those facts, yet it does not act. Was this transaction overseen by a British finance house? Was the Financial Regulator, the Central Bank and, therefore, the Government fully informed as to what was going on? Who...

Leaders' Questions (18 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: Not even Fianna Fáil could dream that one up.

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: During my time in the House, I have rarely seen such an extent of anger on the streets in respect of the mismanagement and lack of leadership by the Government. The country is edging towards an economic precipice and there is no strategy, coherence or sign of action being taken to clear up the international markets' complete lack of trust and confidence in Ireland. Evidence emerged today of...

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: Action has not been taken to sort out this issue. At present, the regulatory authority is carrying out an investigation, although it was itself fundamental to what happened. This is not how it should be. If the Taoiseach is to lead the nation to a point at which there is a restoration of some semblance of credibility and trust, he must take decisive action, which I have outlined in the...

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: I asked the Taoiseach the date on which he found out about the transactions between Anglo Irish Bank and Irish Life & Permanent. This is important from his point of view as Head of Government. We have had a trail and drip of information, rumour, innuendo, allegation and fact. This is an important question for the Taoiseach to answer in his own interest. When did he find out about this?...

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: These are fundamental questions that must be answered now. As the Taoiseach knows, there is no trust and no confidence in Irish financial institutions among the markets. It is patently wrong that the regulatory authority should be investigating these matters when it is a fundamental part of the problem.

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: The board and senior management should be gone and the Taoiseach should take decisive action in that regard, not in an individual sense but to send out a message of a clear, fresh and new beginning in this regard.

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: That is fundamental. On what date did the Taoiseach find out about this? Did the Minister for Finance tell him about the unravelling of the Quinn-Anglo deal? If there are issues of governance or criminal activity involved, why has the Government not sent in the fraud squad to investigate? People want answers quickly from the Taoiseach as our country edges ever closer to an economic...

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: It is necessary from the Taoiseach's point of view and that of the Government that there be an absolutely clean sheet. Will the Taoiseach answer these questions? When did the Minister notify him of the unravelling of the Quinn-Anglo deal? Can he confirm that no member of his Cabinet was in any way involved in the decisions of a new golden circle? The Galway tent may be gone but its spirit...

Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: What is the date?

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: It is an example of discourtesy to this House that we come in here every Tuesday and Wednesday, yet neither of the two Green Party Ministers attend.

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: When they attend they do so because of what they see as a distasteful obligation.

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: This is on the Order of Business.

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: In respect of legislation with which the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources, Deputy Eamon Ryan, is dealing, has he made a decision in respect of the draft Bill to replace the foreshore licences which has been submitted by the Joint Committee on Climate Change and Energy Security? I understand that due to a clerical error, barristers were given an extra €1 million in...

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: In respect of the report detailing where an extra €1 million has been paid to the barristers involved in the Moriarty tribunal, have arrangements been made to recover it?

Order of Business (17 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: If the Minister was here he might be able to help.
