Leaders' Questions. (27 Apr 2005)

Enda Kenny: This is the last opportunity we will have to raise the matter of carnage on the roads with the Taoiseach before the May bank holiday weekend. This year, to date, unfortunately and tragically, 118 people have been killed on our roads. This figure, unfortunately, reflects an increase on a month to month basis as against 2004.

Leaders' Questions. (27 Apr 2005)

Enda Kenny: The content of much of the Taoiseach's reply is somewhat akin to what he said to Deputy Gay Mitchell in one of his more famous outbursts some years ago.

I wish to deal with the Taoiseach's...

Leaders' Questions. (26 Apr 2005)

Enda Kenny: Let me test your edict, a Cheann Comhairle. The Taoiseach will no doubt recall the furore around the country when it became known that the Government had signed on with the IRA for the early release of the killers of Detective Garda Jerry McCabe.
