- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: I could give Deputy Boyd Barrett more details if he wishes.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Brexit Issues (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 6 to 9, inclusive, together. I noted the comments of the UK Prime Minister, Ms May, on Article 50 on 2 November and I welcomed her clarification on the timing of Article 50. Since then, the Government has reviewed action to date and has intensified its preparations. There is ongoing close political and official engagement, including with the British...

Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 3 to 5, inclusive, together. The Cabinet committee on health last met on 22 September 2016.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: Of course the Cabinet committee on health can deal with a particular issue. Deputy Martin asked a question earlier on about the allocation of money to the mental health area. I support his specific suggestion that there should be a subhead dealing with how it is proposed to spend this money and the effectiveness of such expenditure. We have had ring-fenced allocations for mental health for...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: I go to a lot of meetings. If I had attended six or eight meetings of this committee, people might wonder what I was at as well. The committee met just once. We discussed the téarmaí tagartha of the coiste. We discussed the beartais oideachais Gaeltachta 2017-2022. We discussed Bille na dteangacha oifigiúla and we discussed Culture 2025 - Éire Ildánach. I...
- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: It is a valid point that is raised by Deputy Healy-Rae and the Minister is well aware of it. There was €40 million in extra funding for a winter initiative, including €10 million for home-help hours and home-care packages. Deputy Healy-Rae is quite correct as often the last person to be asked where he or she would like to be is the senior citizen or elderly person in question....
- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: We have had this on a number of occasions in the past. I advise farmers to make direct contact with the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine. They will be treated on a case-by-case basis, as has always been the way. The Deputy knows the weather could be worse in Donegal than in other locations or vice versa.
- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: I know I have answered this question before for the Deputy and, in fairness, he has raised it on many occasions. To be honest, I am not sure as to what is the particular problem. I am informed that the heads will be presented this session, in the next couple of weeks. Perhaps I should take a more personal interest in this in order to discover whether we can we identify what the problem has...

Enda Kenny: I am not that bad.
- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: I will certainly take that up with the Minister for Health directly. The intention was always to have €35 million ring-fenced. I think that the previous Government was the first after many years of talking about it to attempt to ring-fence money for mental health. As the Deputy is only too well aware, over the years the entire mental health area was always the Cinderella of any...
- Order of Business (18 Oct 2016)
Enda Kenny: It is not that simple. The Minister of State, Deputy Stanton, is working on this and the Deputy can have a conversation with him at any time about the work that he is doing following on from the work that was begun by Senator Ó Ríordáin. The Minister, Deputy Coveney, has increased the Traveller housing allocation by 64%. There has been a full review of all of the...
