Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: There seems to have been a change on the Government benches this morning. It is just over a year since I raised the PPARS project, a waste of €150 million of taxpayers' money on a dud payroll system that overpays, underpays and mispays. It does everything but what it is supposed to do. At the same time, the frontline situation in the health services is not what it should be. Today's...

Leaders' Questions (11 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach says that health workers work a six hour day and take Fridays off. It is obvious that the Minister for Finance is not informed about what is happening in the IT project systems within the Health Service Executive and that someone is not telling him. Is he aware that despite a provision of €70 million for IT projects in the HSE this year, as of 27 September, not a cent apart...

Leaders' Questions (10 Oct 2006)

Enda Kenny: It is great to see the Government in action at last. It now appears that the prevaricating democrats are in for a penny, in for a pound, with apparently another political hoax in the form of new ethics legislation that makes it all okay. I would like to tell the Taoiseach directly that I hope this will be the last time we must raise these matters in this House. I understand that both the...

Will the Taoiseach state what is the...
