Northern Ireland Issues. (4 Oct 2005)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for that comprehensive reply in respect of Northern Ireland issues. This side of the House has accepted the word of General de Chastelain and the two clergymen with regard to the detail of what they saw being decommissioned. On foot of his meeting with General de Chastelain can the Taoiseach say whether the amount seen by the general and his colleagues as having been...

Northern Ireland Issues. (4 Oct 2005)

Enda Kenny: I am satisfied with the Taoiseach's clarification that the estimate was not actually provided by the Government, but by the Garda and Army intelligence. It may be possible at some future time to be given an idea of the estimate. Will the Taoiseach give the House an update, based on the briefings given to him, on what is happening in respect of the follow-up to the Northern Bank raid? Quite a...

Order of Business. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: One of the most stark and disturbing stories heard this year was the revelation of the poor treatment of elderly people in nursing homes, ranging from the illegal charging scandal to the squalid conditions some unfortunate patients had to endure in some locations. Four commitments were made to produce the legislation to introduce the inspectorate for nursing homes. Two of these were made by...

Northern Ireland: Statements. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: It would be most inappropriate, improper and premature for the Taoiseach to raise such an issue when so many other serious issues remain unresolved, such as criminality, racketeering, paramilitary punishment beatings, the Northern Bank raid, and the murders of Robert McCartney and Joseph Rafferty. I am glad that the Taoiseach met the Rafferty family in Dublin. That story and witnessing those...

Northern Ireland: Statements. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: In that respect, it is not appropriate that there should be such secret meetings at which secret deals might be done on very important issues.

Official Engagements. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: While I know a greater distance is involved, clearly it is cheaper to hold a Cabinet meeting in Emo than in Cork. Does the Taoiseach plan to hold other Cabinet meetings outside Dublin this year? Does he have a list of such meetings? Is it his intention to hold them in constituencies that might be deemed to be key marginals? Does he have any report on the fulfilment of the decisions taken at...
