Leaders' Questions. (1 Jun 2004)

Enda Kenny: I share the view of the Taoiseach and the Government that it is necessary for the banking system in this country to be above reproach and be seen to be so in the context of our international financial reputation. Out of all the drip feed of stories in the past week, the last semblance of hope comes from a person with whom I worked in Government, who is now chairman of AIB Bank, Mr. Dermot...

Order of Business. (1 Jun 2004)

Enda Kenny: I wish to raise a number of matters on the Order of Business. Is it true that neither the Taoiseach nor the Tánaiste will be in the House tomorrow?

Order of Business. (1 Jun 2004)

Enda Kenny: The Minister for Justice, Equality and Law Reform obviously has a different view from the Taoiseach.

Official Engagements. (1 Jun 2004)

Enda Kenny: Will the Taoiseach outline when it is intended to circulate a new draft of the proposed constitution, incorporating any changes that have been agreed? How long in advance of the summit does he expect it to be circulated? I am astounded that Deputy Joe Higgins refers to the use of a false passport as a minor charge. It is appalling that, while it is right and proper that the Government of the...
