- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: I will repeat that the political reform committee established the budgetary scoping committee which will set the terms of reference for the budgetary committee. The Minister outlined his road map in that regard. I note the point Deputy Adams makes about the McMahon report. I do not want to get into any conflict here, either with Deputy Adams or anybody else, but I have appointed a Minister...
- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: The Minister of State will comment on that. He will have his programme of work which includes that and which is very challenging. In fairness to Mr. Justice McMahon, he did great work in a relatively short time and presented a very clear report for implementation. In respect of the Tesco position, it is principally a matter for the company involved to resolve the issues with the workers and...
- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: The State, as Deputy Adams knows, made available all the industrial relations facilitates to help the parties come to an agreed solution. I understand the talks at the Workplace Relations Commission aimed at resolving that dispute adjourned on 19 May after 14 hours without agreement.

- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: I will respond to Deputy Micheál Martin. Obviously, Damascus still functions and the root cause of this is Syria. I agree with Deputy Adams that 500 people have drowned. The intention here was to limit the numbers of people getting into the water in the first place and to deal with the people smugglers. I will respond to both Deputies in writing at their request.

- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: I am not sure whether the CRC pension scheme is a private scheme but I will look at it and come back to the Deputy. In respect of the budgetary process, it is intended to change the way budgets are prepared and presented. There will be far more involvement from all Members of the House and far more opportunity for them to make their cases. The first thing is to set up a budgetary...
- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: The timetable is also set out for everybody, both in terms of the spring statement, the early provision of Estimates, the overall allocation for 2017 and the engagement through each of the sectoral committees of the Dáil with this committee so that there is far more involvement for everybody in the budgetary process. It will be very different from what it used to be.
- Order of Business (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: The Government approved the detail of the presentation of the budgetary strategy at its meeting on Tuesday. That will be made available to all Deputies so that they will understand the timescale and provisional dates for the different segments of it. I think Deputy Micheál Martin asked a third question.

I mentioned earlier the Misuse of Drugs (Amendment) Bill. There will be primary legislation to deal with enhanced provisions in respect of legalised drugs. The Commissioner has already appointed Garda personnel to work...

Enda Kenny: Yes, indeed.
- Ceisteanna - Questions: EU Meetings (25 May 2016)
Enda Kenny: I think we need to look at the structure of the way we do questions here. I thank the Ceann Comhairle for his intervention. I agree with Deputy Martin that the growth of populism has created significant challenges for democracy in all its forms in many countries. I see that reflected in the arguments around the European Council table. We will strongly defend the right of Ukraine to its...
