Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: No, I cannot give the Deputy that answer, but what I am convinced of is that there are other Longboat Quay situations out there and other Priory Hall situations out there. And all of that has brought absolute wreckage to the careers and the ambitions and the lives of so many people in our country. And it all happened because of a rush to greed, a rush to build indiscriminately without...

Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: Unfortunately, they are not coming to light long until after those who provided them have absconded or are not in the business. The Deputy's deputy leader wanted to make a telephone call to a developer yesterday as if this could sort it all out.

Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: I made the point to Deputy McDonald that the Longboat Quay apartments were a combination of a number of entities, and the Minister, Deputy Kelly, met with personnel about this yesterday.

Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: He is utterly fraudulent.

Leaders' Questions (7 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: The reason is that Deputy Martin's party always supported the concept of contributions for services, including water. Fianna Fáil went to the extent of having a €400 charge in its proposition until it saw the people to Deputy Martin's right shifting ground, after which that party said it did not want water charges, at least not for the present. Now, Fianna Fáil wants to...

Order of Business (6 Oct 2015)

Order of Business (6 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: The Bill will come before the committee tomorrow. I am aware of the case of Mary Boyle. It took place many years ago. A number of years ago, I received some contact about it, which I brought to the attention of the Garda. I cannot say whether the allegation made was followed up, given that it was a number of years ago.

Order of Business (6 Oct 2015)

Enda Kenny: I have no objection to meeting Mary Boyle's sister when I get a chance. I would be happy to do so. The day-to-day operational matters of the Garda are a matter for the Garda Commissioner. The new independent policing authority will bring new powers and opportunities, as will the changes brought about to the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC, which is being chaired by a...
