- Shannon River Agency Bill 2016: First Stage (13 Jan 2016)

- Flooding: Statements (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: Today, my first thoughts and words must be with those who have suffered so much because of the storms of the last month: the men and women whose farms and homes have been flooded, isolated or evacuated, whose livelihoods have been threatened, and who have spent long, anxious days and nights afraid of and mesmerised by the weather forecast of rain, rain, rain, and the heartbreak it brought....
- Flood Insurance Bill 2016: First Stage (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: No, we are not opposing the Bill. We have requested the insurance companies to come back to us by the end of next week with precisely the information the Deputy is seeking. That information will be fed into the Department of Finance, which is currently doing an assessment of international insurance models. I hope the insurance companies will reflect carefully on the question of demountable...
- River Shannon Management Agency Bill 2016: First Stage (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: No. For the Deputy's information, back in 1909, the reason given for flooding of the Shannon was the very low drop level over a distance of 15 miles. The terms of reference for the Shannon river basin management co-ordination group will be published by the Minister of State next week. I do not oppose the Deputy's Bill but I consider that we can have a much more effective management...

Enda Kenny: No, it is not being opposed.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: It is a valid question. The Bill is on Report Stage and is on the Dáil Order Paper. There are ten or 12 Bills on the list. I am not sure, following Committee Stage, whether there is any further work to be done on the Bill. I will ask the Minister for Justice and Equality about whether this is an issue Members feel should be dealt with. It is due to be taken in the Dáil, if not...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I understand Committee Stage of the Technological Universities Bill will be taken tomorrow. The House might move through that quickly. I cannot speak for the Deputies who will attend the debate. In respect of the cystic fibrosis drug to which the Deputy referred, Deputy Ó Fearghaíl will raise the issue today. If it is not possible to fit such a debate into the Dáil...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: It is on Committee Stage. If the committee is prepared to finalise it quickly, I do not see any objection to it being moved through. Some people may find complications with it, as often happens in here.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I will have to come back to the Deputy on his last question. The Adoption (Amendment) Bill and the Adoption (Information and Tracing) Bill are priority Bills for publication. In respect of wind energy guidelines, there will be enough wind around the country generated from human resources. There might be a need for guidelines.

- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: As I have said on many occasions, the objective of the Government is twofold, first to secure the release of Ibrahim Halawa so that he can return to his family in Ireland and second to provide consular support for him while he is in detention. I am disappointed that his case has been postponed until 6 March.

- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: As an oftentimes forceful representative for her community, I am quite sure Deputy McDonald would agree that it is a right and proper thing for this State to have acquired Nos. 15, 16 and 17 Moore Street and to address the proper restoration of the historic buildings concerned with public moneys in the interests of preserving them in the best way possible for the generations after us.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I am quite sure that can be done without occupying the building or engaging in that kind of activity. I am not opposed to legitimate protest in our country.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: Deputy McDonald is in a position to influence communities about the possibilities that are the responsibilities of others in Dublin City Council and the planning process, and also the plan in place for the area around the buildings concerned. She should say that it is important, in the context of 2016 and 1916, that the historic monument, purchased by the State for the people, should be...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy's actions and words do not seem to commend this activity and I am disappointed as a senior representative of her party that this is the attitude she has taken.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: Deputy Martin is asking me. That is what his Whip is for. The Whip makes the requests on behalf of Deputy Martin's party, I assume.
