- Leaders' Questions (19 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: Following the confusing statement put up by the Minister for Education and Science on her departmental website, the Taoiseach should clear up a few simple matters for Members. Yesterday, the Taoiseach conceded that it was his intention to introduce a flat rate of payment for water usage in schools. He stated that he intended to introduce a transition period.

- Leaders' Questions (19 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: I certainly will allow the Taoiseach to give the details contained in his briefing note. The schools and parents want to know the detail because the Taoiseach's latest statement does not add to their store of knowledge about their position. Must schools that received bills of between â¬500 and â¬10,000 hold on to those bills or dump them? Will they be paying a flat charge from 1...

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for the beautiful card he sent me of the orchid, which states "Mo chara â Bertie Ahern". "Mo chara", as the Taoiseach knows, means "My friend" and the Taoiseach knows the definition of a friend these days.

Enda Kenny: The same orchid was titled ARANDA Ishbel Manisaki. Its first date of pollination was 20 November 1996 and its date of first flowering was 19 March 2002. Will the Taoiseach answer the questions on the flat rates and the transition periods and state what system will be in place beyond 2010? Perhaps this time the Taoiseach will not step out of the frying pan into the fire.
