- Order of Business (15 Jun 2016)
Enda Kenny: There will be several visits by Ministers to Northern Ireland and various locations between now and referendum day. After the discussions I had with people in Belfast during the week, there is evidence of little activity from the political parties on the ground in explaining to people what this referendum is about and the consequences for Northern Ireland. I am glad the Deputy supports the...

- Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2016)
Enda Kenny: There is competition in city areas. While it is not a new charge on households, it does mean a change in how most people will pay for waste collection services from 1 July. It gives households more control-----
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2016)
Enda Kenny: It gives households more control in how they place their waste in the green, brown or black bin. The spirit of the legislation is that better use of the green and brown bins means less in the black bin; therefore, it should result in a lower cost.

In the meantime, I will advise the Deputy on the progress made on the Bill. In regard to having a debate in the House, the Whip has...
