Enda Kenny: The heads of the táillte Éireann Bill have been cleared but it will be next year before it appears in the House. There are discussions going on about governance with the apprenticeship Bill.

- Order of Business (3 Nov 2015)
Enda Kenny: Obviously, we do not need legislation to know that the situation that the Deputy has described is not tolerable. If the letter has been sent to the Minister for Health, I am sure he will respond directly to the Deputy. The health information Bill is due for publication next year, but as I said, we do not need legislation to know that there should not be a situation like the one the Deputy...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Issues (3 Nov 2015)
Enda Kenny: The conflict between Israel and Palestine has taken up so much time over the years, and continues to do so. As pointed out by Deputy Boyd Barrett, there has been a spate of attacks over the past number of weeks, mostly by young Palestinians, particularly in Jerusalem but also elsewhere.
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Issues (3 Nov 2015)
Enda Kenny: Eleven Israelis and 68 Palestinians were killed in clashes with the security forces. The Palestinian attacks appear to be unco-ordinated at this point. A major concern is that the attacks on the security response could spiral out of control. There is no visible prospect of a de-escalation. The current wave of violence was prompted by rising anger among young Palestinians in occupied east...

I have listened to the accounts of some naval personnel who rescued...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Issues (3 Nov 2015)
Enda Kenny: I have made the point that in the context in which the discussions took place there were clearly warning signs about a possible break-up of the eurozone. It was right and proper for the Government to have the discussions. It would have been absolutely negligent and irresponsible of it not to put in place a strategy to deal with these things in the event of a break-up. The discussions took...
