Order of Business (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: In respect of the legislation that will be necessary for the referendum on the EU reform treaty, has the Taoiseach had discussions with the British Prime Minister, Gordon Brown, in regard to the Government's decision to opt in or out of certain provisions? I made my view known on this yesterday. When is the forthcoming constituency commission report expected to be published? Information on...

Order of Business (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach can take it that I will make a request for a formal debate, which could probably be held on Tuesday next. There seems to be a particular attitude or perception emanating from the Department of Justice, Equality and Law Reform. The former Minister, Mr. McDowell, had a particular view of the common law versus the civil law and for that reason he was stringently opposed to opting...

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: Every murder here does us down as a people. I am appalled at the news this morning that a young Swiss student, having come to Ireland last weekend, has been murdered in Galway. I hope the public responds to the call for assistance from gardaí so that the perpetrator of this latest murder is brought to justice. It does us all down to have such unfortunate and tragic events foisted upon us....

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: This represents the hypocrisy of Government. The Taoiseach promised a White Paper, before the sale of Aer Lingus, to deal with the regional strategic objectives and he has been completely blindsided in this matter. A major decision such as this, commercial or otherwise, would not have gone ahead without the tacit approval of Government.

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: It would certainly not have gone ahead without reference to the board. When discussions took place about the development of an all-Ireland economy I am quite sure they referred to this issue, at least in some form. The Taoiseach has not answered the question as to how the removal of the Shannon-Heathrow slots protects the strategic interests his Government specifically outlined as the...

Appointments to State Boards. (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach said recently that membership of Fianna Fáil does not disqualify persons from being appointed to State boards. Was Mr. Joseph Burke re-appointed to the chairmanship of Dublin Port on the basis of his friendship with the Taoiseach or on the basis of merit and experience? His company specialised in refurbishing public houses and employed 16 people in north Dublin. The High...

Enda Kenny: Question 4: To ask the Taoiseach if he has plans to amend the code of conduct for office holders; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [16810/07]

Standards in Public Office. (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: Is a copy of the code of conduct available in the Oireachtas Library for Members to read the rules of the code as they currently obtain? I note the Minister for Defence, Deputy O'Dea, apologised to a lady in Limerick for remarks he made. I am sure the Taoiseach accepts that this is the proper response from the Minister who therefore must have said something akin to what was reported. We...

Standards in Public Office. (10 Oct 2007)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach speaks of school friends making personal loans or making moneys available. I am not sure if he used the term, "dodgy people" or "dodgy issues".
