- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I do not determine every issue that is discussed in the Dáil. In regard to the commission of investigation on the Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, I wrote to Deputy Martin and the other leaders with a proposition for a possible approach to legislation to address issues relating to the work of the IBRC commission. This followed a request and a set of propositions from Mr. Justice...

Enda Kenny: What views has Deputy Martin given me? He has given me none. I said I was also copying the letter to Mr. Justice Cregan following his recommendations.

Enda Kenny: Let me repeat it for Deputy Martin. If he wants to listen, I might be able to give him some information. I said to Deputy Martin that I requested his views on the paper that I circulated. I said they were possible heads for consideration.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I met the leaders of the parties and I asked them for their views. I have now set out the consequence of that in nine heads and I have asked the leaders for their views on the document. Deputy Martin does not seem to want to give me his views. I would appreciate if he would forward them to me.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: The Government will consider the responses from the leaders of the groups and make its decision in approving the heads of a Bill which will then be sent to the Oireachtas committee in the normal fashion. That is a process that was not there before.
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: I sent the leaders the possible heads before we approved them at Cabinet level. Thereafter, of course, it is not in any way confidential. It will be public knowledge and everyone here who wants to can find an answer to those questions.

Enda Kenny: In respect of the last question, it is not satisfactory that the numbers are the way they are. They are better than they were last year. Investment is increasing again. We were left with a position in which 2,000 beds were taken out of circulation by the previous Administration. That is not easy to deal with. In so far as that is concerned, I am glad that the INMO and management have...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: It is proposed to take No. 39, statements on flooding. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that the Dáil shall sit later than 9 p.m. tonight and shall adjourn on the conclusion of No. 39; the proceedings on No. 39 shall, if not previously concluded, be brought to a conclusion not later than 11 p.m. tonight and the following arrangements shall apply: the...

Enda Kenny: The Dáil is due to sit for three days next week. Some 19 of the 34 Bills on the autumn 2015 list have been published along with six other Bills. The reason for not having legislation today is the demand from Deputies for statements to deal with the flooding issue, which continues to be of critical importance and a great priority. I understand the legislation taken next week will be...
- Order of Business (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: For instance, a drug in respect of hepatitis C, which cures rather than treats the condition, came through a facility in Sligo and is extraordinary in terms of the quality of life it can bring about for people. The Minister for Health is pursuing this matter through the proper channels. The changes made and investments made in facilities for cystic fibrosis patients speak for themselves. I...

Enda Kenny: I am sure the Fianna Fáil Party Whip will raise that issue at this evening's meeting.
- Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: The Deputies from Tipperary raised this matter with the Minister for Jobs, Enterprise and Innovation, Deputy Richard Bruton, earlier today as a topical issue with the authorisation of the Ceann Comhairle. The Minister answered questions on this for the Deputies concerned. It is always tough when a company decides to make a decision that involves taking jobs from a location or job losses....

Enda Kenny: The Deputy is now asking me a different question.
- Leaders' Questions (13 Jan 2016)
Enda Kenny: Obviously, the Government has set out a proposal to have the areas outside the main urban areas become more attractive for investment and support, through Enterprise Ireland's local enterprise offices, to deal with small and medium enterprises exporting from the country. With respect, circumstances would be different if the company were to close down completely, with the loss of all the...

Enda Kenny: I went down there a few times to look at this. Obviously, the location where those who were involved in the GPO issued the final call for surrender is an historical monument. Now, this has dragged on since 1922. It has dragged on all those years. This Government decided to purchase the three dwellings - the three houses - that are now the national monument owned by the State. What the...
