Dublin-Monaghan Bombings. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I thank the Taoiseach for his reply. There is one more report due from the Barron inquiry relating to the Dundalk, Castleblayney and Miami Showband atrocities. Does the Taoiseach know when he might receive that or when it will be presented to the House? Now that Prime Minister Blair is once more installed in Downing Street, will the Taoiseach again raise the matter with him? Will he impress...

Benchmarking Awards. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: I understand that. Will he carry out a survey in his Department on job satisfaction, morale, the potential for advancement based on performance, the promotion of less talented individuals based solely on seniority and recognition of work well done? Will he concede that, to an extent, benchmarking has failed to deliver the reform that rewards talent, improves morale and cherishes innovation?...

Order of Business. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach provided a number of replies earlier in respect of legislation on nursing homes. Would it be possible to re-prioritise that matter? Last year, we had seven examples of emergency legislation introduced by the Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform, and other Ministers did so also. It appears that if real priority is accorded to some legislation it can come before the...

Leaders' Questions. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: Yesterday, following the "Prime Time" programme, the focus of attention was on the Leas Cross nursing home and the need to tackle the systematic and grossly unacceptable practices in place there. However, the issues raised by the television programme are of much wider import and relate to the abuse of elderly people in general. This Government has failed elderly citizens. It has presided over...

Leaders' Questions. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: In view of the appalling inadequacy of the inspection regime, has the Taoiseach called in the Health Services Executive to ascertain on whose instructions advance notice of inspection was, and is, given to all nursing homes? That is akin to giving the question papers to next week's leaving certificate students. It is a complete failure of this Government to have introduced an inspection...

Leaders' Questions. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: The Taoiseach has given an appallingly cynical answer.

Leaders' Questions. (1 Jun 2005)

Enda Kenny: He has not answered any question and it is typical of his governance that while he is more interested in ticking boxes and defending the inadequacy of the HSE by saying it does not give advance notice of inspections, 80 nursing homes were inspected once in 2004, when the legal requirement is two inspections per year of 480 private nursing homes. The Taoiseach's answer is disgraceful. The...
