Strategic Management Initiative. (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: This is a broad general question about telecommunications regulation. Some 40,000 customers on a particular scheme had their service disconnected last year. Does the Taoiseach consider there should be a tightening up of regulatory reform in order that ComReg could give notice to customers of such an event? The website of the Department of the Taoiseach includes a section on the customer...

Departmental Files. (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: What kind of files were withheld? Does the Taoiseach have the number of files that have not been released and to what they relate? I note that, according to a recent newspaper article, the son of Rudolf Hess wrote to the former President, Mr. de Valera, in 1968, asking him to petition for the release of his father from Spandau prison in Berlin. The Taoiseach will be well aware of the...

Departmental Files. (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: Is it true that they were withheld partially because there are persons living who may be affected by the consequences of their release? Are those persons in the Republic of Ireland or Northern Ireland and is this why the files have not been released or does the Taoiseach have this information?

Civil Service Regulation. (27 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: There has been much talk about what the DPP might be able to do and what generally happens. Traditionally, as the Taoiseach is aware, the DPP was seen as being in a position to assist the courts to arrive at a decision. In our adversarial court system a situation may arise where the defendant's barrister can go into a long tirade about mitigation for a defendant while the DPP, because of a...

Order of Business (22 Feb 2007)

Enda Kenny: I suppose we should all be cheered up by the fact the Tánaiste has re-entered the House. I did not see him or any of his colleagues here when the Moriarty tribunal was being discussed by Dáil Éireann. He used the excuse of writing his annual conference speech, but did not refer to the culture of corruption for the past 20 years in that forum either. One could say that the Tánaiste was...

Order of Business (22 Feb 2007)
