Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2006)

Is it because of age itself, that the elderly have in some way withered beyond their shelf life, or is it because of the vulnerability that comes with advancing years? I do not think so. It is because the damning evidence of the men and women who died and were buried from Leas Cross is...

Leaders' Questions (18 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: That is all blather which we have heard before. The legislation for an independent inspectorate was promised in 2001 but it has not materialised. The legislation is not strong enough to close a bad nursing home. I read the report. The Taoiseach will note, in particular, that deficiencies were noted in pressure sore prevention and care, assessment and management of swallow disorders, and...

Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: We are always happy to welcome our Scottish colleagues to Ireland. I wish to ask the Taoiseach a number of questions on the ESB regulatory pricing regime. The Taoiseach will be aware that on 1 October, the price of gas increased by 34% and approximately a 20% increase has been granted to the ESB. It is an increase of 19.4% for residential electricity, 19.6% for small enterprises and 21% for...

Leaders' Questions (17 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: That does not deal with this situation. Gas was available free of charge in the UK two weeks ago but industrial electricity costs in this country are 30% higher than in Great Britain. Industry, as the Taoiseach knows, is not included in the CPI figures. He said the price rises were unlikely to drive anybody out of the country. The company of which I speak will suffer an increase in...
