Leaders' Questions. (31 May 2006)

Enda Kenny: The sequence of events that has unfolded demonstrates that this Government is a headless band of bunglers. It is time for the Government to come clean and answer questions following the devastation of the Supreme Court decision in respect of section 1(1) of the Criminal Law Amendment Act 1935. The Tánaiste is in the House instead of the Minister for Finance, who we were told would take the...

She has not answered my question about whether she believes the Minister for Justice, Equality...
