Commissions of Investigation. (18 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for that information. I remind him that on 10 July an all-party motion was passed by the House on the 1974 Dublin and Monaghan bombings which stated that the Dáil: urges the Government of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland to allow access by an independent, international judicial figure to all original documents held by the British Government...

Commissions of Investigation. (18 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: I welcome today's announcement that the DUP and Sinn Féin have agreed on a process to deal with the devolution of policing in Northern Ireland, as it is a welcome advance. Does the Taoiseach have a view, in being able to get at the truth of the matter, that the British Government should hand up whatever documentation it has in this regard?

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: ——on which the Taoiseach's own Deputies have called for cross-party agreement from this side of the House. We can have cross-party agreement on this and we can show the Taoiseach how to find that money if he wants.

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2008)

Enda Kenny: I repeat that this is an opportunity for the Taoiseach to achieve cross-party agreement on this issue. There is a vaccine that actually prevents cervical cancer.
