- Order of Business (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: I wish to raise a matter mentioned in this House several times by Deputy Naughten to do with a report produced in 2001 by the Oireachtas Joint Committee on Health and Children chaired by Deputy Jim O'Keeffe. Deputy Jim O'Keeffe in his report requested that the issues raised in the report be debated in both Houses of the Oireachtas. The report was on the compensation for victims of vaccine...

- Order of Business (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: The motion was amended with the consent of the Government, which had a strong part to play on it. We do not want to divide on this issue. The Taoiseach's imprimatur is critical to the whole business.
- Northern Ireland Issues. (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: I join the Taoiseach and Deputy Burton in expressing the sympathy of the House towards the families of those who lost their lives in the inferno in Omagh. I am sure the neighbours who heard the screams of those children will be haunted forever. It goes through you when you see the picture in today's newspaper. The remarks by the Taoiseach shortly after the murder of Paul Quinn disassociated...
- Northern Ireland Issues. (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: On a different matter, comments have been made by members of the UUP and the SDLP that they do not see the inclusive Executive as being politically sustainable. Does the Taoiseach have a view on that? Does the Government feel that if there is an inability to make decisions within the Executive and the Assembly, voluntary coalitions may be formed as time goes by? Does the Taoiseach have any...

- Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: Since the general election, we have seen the true value of Fianna Fáil policies, with hospital wards closed, operations cancelled, home help hours cut back, children's dental services cancelled, suicide prevention training cancelled and a ban on recruitment that has directly hit frontline services in the health area. However, there is one area in the health sector that has seen no...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach explain why this is so in the midst of the shambles over which he and the Minister for Health and Children preside? How can he justify the value for money this represents given what is falling down around us?
- Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: As with many other issues, the Taoiseach either does not understand or does not want to understand. I will ask the question again. Does an increase from â¬206,000 to â¬666,000 in the cost of special advisers in the Minister for Health and Children's office represent good value? If the Taoiseach did not understand the question the first time, I hope he does the second time. The...
- Leaders' Questions (14 Nov 2007)
Enda Kenny: There is bureaucratic bungling. Ministers can wipe their hands of that until they have to explain to somebody why an operation is cancelled, dental treatment is cancelled, suicide prevention training is cancelled or it is not possible to obtain four hours of home help. The Taoiseach has admitted to me in this House that there is a bureaucratic bulge in the administrative section of the HSE....
