- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: I think I heard Deputy McDonald say recently that it would have been an interesting experiment for Ireland to have followed Syriza’s example in Greece. Am I correct? This is where she wants to place our country and our people, yet she comes in here talking about pensioners and ordinary people.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy’s philosophy is to allow what has happened in Greece to happen here.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)

- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)

- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: The use of meters is to determine the extent of water use. Second, they will be able to identify where they are completely inadequate facilities, either leaks or the consequences of lead pipes into houses.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: Whether Deputy McDonald likes it or does not want to recognise it, water conservation is a very important part of what we have to do.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: For years, taxpayers have been paying for inadequate facilities with 50% of water supplies leaking into the ground. However, Sinn Féin does not want to recognise that either. The extent of investment for years to come will be of a nature that will fix these leaks and inadequate facilities while providing proper water services for town, country, business, industry and consumer. Again,...

- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy has made a number of comments and allegations here regarding people working in different sectors, including members of the Judiciary. He made comments in respect of a former Secretary General of the Department of Finance, as well as comments generally in respect of NAMA. Let me repeat again for him. The process of accountability and transparency in this jurisdiction in...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy fails to recognise that the sum of €100 is not just an incentive for people to contribute but also a conservation grant.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy's philosophy has nothing to do with conservation. When billions of euro were sloshing around in the economy, Fianna Fáil had no concept of the conservation of money in the interests of the people.
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: Fianna Fáil squandered the livelihoods, careers, opportunities and ambitions of thousands of people, some of whom are now in America, Australia, Britain and elsewhere. Deputy Micheál Martin and his party, with a philosophy under which there was no attempt at conservation, are directly responsible. I expect people to continue to contribute to building an entity to deal with the...
- Leaders' Questions (15 Jul 2015)
Enda Kenny: That is why Irish Water was established. Deputy Micheál Martin knows that for many years the average investment has been approximately €300 million. It should be €600 million at least. That is why Irish Water was established. Fianna Fáil's philosophy was to approve water charges which were much higher than those the Government has introduced. It then abandoned...
