Garda Reform: Statements (29 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: I wish to share time with Deputy Perry. I compliment the Acting Chairman, Deputy Penrose, on the production of his award-winning book which I hope is in the best sellers' list.

Every man and woman who puts on the uniform of the Garda Síochána must understand...

Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: Today the PPARS scandal is running at €186 million and counting. This €186 million is a spectacular achievement of waste by any standard but we should not be too surprised. The Progressive Democrats, after all, is the party that gets things done. We should look at a few things it has not done. I refer to neurosurgery where the computers used to guide brain operations keep crashing and...

Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2006)

Enda Kenny: I give the Tánaiste two out of ten for that answer. I asked him about neurosurgery but not once did he mention the word.

It is a good job the helicopter did not take off.

He bluffed about HSE numbers and the numbers in the health system. Two...

Leaders' Questions (29 Nov 2006)
