Official Engagements. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his comprehensive reply on his activities during the summer. Obviously he was not idle. I have three questions. At the UN summit in New York the Taoiseach set 2012 as the new deadline for the achievement of the UN target for overseas aid.

Leaders' Questions. (28 Sep 2005)

Enda Kenny: There are a number of other persons of sufficient stature who would be willing to become involved in this if the imprimatur of the Government were given. It is a fact that this was badly handled by the local authority in some aspects. It was very badly handled by the Government and by Shell and it has led to a complete breakdown in communications. It is impossible for me to express the...

Order of Business. (1 Jul 2005)

Enda Kenny: One can always be assured of surprises in this House. I wish to raise two matters with the Minister for Finance.

The Minister, in his response to questions yesterday, said he would consider in...

Order of Business. (1 Jul 2005)

Enda Kenny: Yesterday, a total of 270 people were on trolleys in hospitals with 150 in Dublin alone, in the middle of summer when things should be at their most quiet. Crime rates in our capital city are rising. The roof has blown off a building that cost €62 million and underneath it, 5 million litres of water are leaking away every month, but we are told it represents good value for money. We have...
