- Leaders' Questions (18 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach did not answer any of the three questions I asked. First, does he agree there is no need to implement the provisions until the end of 2009? Second, does he appreciate there is discretion and flexibility in this regard? Third, is he disposed to suspending this provision pending a resolution of the problem?

- Order of Business (18 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: There has been another breakdown in communications, because it has not been received by anybody on this side of the House. Whether he was in Opposition or in Government, many years ago a tall man known as Deputy Major de Valera used to say to the Ceann Comhairle that we were passing millions of pounds without any discussion. There was a tradition that the Appropriations Bill 2007 would...
- Order of Business (18 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: No. Like Deputy Gilmore, I object to the way this is being done. The Minister for Health and Children was informed on 26 October that this matter needed to be dealt with. She chose not to inform any Member of the Opposition or the spokespersons on health about this matter.

Enda Kenny: There is something very wrong here as words mean much to families in these circumstances. I accept the Taoiseach's statement that in the view of the Government, the late Paul Quinn was not a criminal. It is important to clear up that matter. Words are important because Paul Quinn was murdered and the persons who murdered him sought authorisation to carry out the punishment beating that...
- Northern Ireland Issues. (18 Dec 2007)
Enda Kenny: Is it the Taoiseach's intention to meet the parents of Paul Quinn? I intend to meet them when I get an opportunity.
