Departmental Staff. (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: If the Minister requires the number of advisers she now has but is not the leader of a party, and the Taoiseach's predecessor said she needed the advisers because she was the leader of a minority Government party, it is a contradiction. I do not think I will get anywhere with this line of argument. I find it strange that somebody from the Department of the Taoiseach is seconded as a special...

Northern Ireland Issues. (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: Is the Taoiseach concerned about the growing unease about dissident republicans and their activities in Northern Ireland, as a result of the discovery of a 300 lb car bomb in County Down recently, which was, apparently, intended for the Ballykindler army base? What is the Government assessment of the numbers involved in dissident republican activities? Based on the information available to...

Northern Ireland Issues. (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: The Eames-Bradley report published recently makes 30 recommendations. Has the Taoiseach examined that report and is there a Government response on the implementation of these recommendations? Is it correct policy to pursue compensation for families of victims, as is proposed? Money can never bring back a loved one, nor does money equate with the truth being made available to people. Has...

Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: Yesterday, the Taoiseach walked into the Chamber and plundered the public service income position to pay for the wanton waste of Fianna Fáil's management of the economy over the past ten years. In my view, it was to a disproportionate and unfair extent. His contribution yesterday said precious little about the situation for persons on the live register. We will be in the House when the...

Leaders' Questions (4 Feb 2009)

Enda Kenny: I am not sure if he was referring to January. If that is the case, however, it will be the highest increase on record and an unemployment bloodbath. As the figures will be published this morning while we are in the House, will the Taoiseach inform the Dáil of the January increase in the live register and the total figure as of the end of January? How does he propose to tackle this?
