European Council Meetings: Statements. (2 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: I very much agree with the principal decision taken by the Heads of Government at the December meeting of the European Council to begin accession negotiations with Turkey.

Is the project on schedule or much behind the projected schedule when announced?

Computerisation Programme. (2 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: Does that mean all Departments currently based in Dublin use a system that is fully compatible with the e-Government system operated from Government Buildings? Are all the Dublin-based Departments fully on-line with this and is the system being used to full capacity? Does that mean that when the Minister for Community, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs, Deputy Ó Cuív, moves to Knock and the...

Order of Business. (2 Feb 2005)

Will the Taoiseach confirm that the Cabinet has made a decision that there should be a Dublin metro, and when will the listed Bill be published?

Leaders' Questions. (2 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: Based on the information supplied by the Taoiseach and on his words, it is obvious that Sinn Féin has been negotiating with the Irish and British Governments over a period of time in very bad faith. Sinn Féin has clearly destroyed the level of trust by serious breaches of faith.

Leaders' Questions. (2 Feb 2005)

Enda Kenny: It shows the level of folly of the Taoiseach's Government in putting on the table the issue of the early release of the killers of Detective Garda McCabe. The Taoiseach confirmed last week that the matter had been taken off the table.
