Enda Kenny: -----bailout in history and make the decision that will be in the best interests of our taxpayers and that is what the Government will do. The Minister, Deputy Noonan, is very confident that we will get back all that was invested and more. The Deputy should believe me that I am not here to look for any credit for calling up Mr. Jean Claude Trichet. I met the man many times at European...

Enda Kenny: I merely made a call that Mr. Trichet would appear and I am glad that he did so.
- Order of Business (12 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: It is proposed to take No. 1, Workplace Relations Bill 2014 - amendments from the Seanad. It is proposed, notwithstanding anything in Standing Orders, that in the event a division is in progress at the time fixed for taking Private Members’ business, the Dáil shall sit later than 9 p.m. tonight and shall adjourn on the adjournment of Private Members’ business, which shall...
- Order of Business (12 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: I was a very strong supporter of a patient safety authority that would be able to move into hospitals and deal very quickly with issues or incidents as they arise. As I said in response to the Deputy's earlier question, disciplinary measures are available to deal with incidents involving doctors and nurses, but not in respect of management. This is the first time that a completely...

Enda Kenny: The first recommendation is to establish an independent patient advocacy service.

Enda Kenny: I will try to be brief and will start by responding to the last question raised by Deputy Murphy. Ireland has made clear on a number of occasions our continued concerns about the human rights situation in Egypt in general. We intervened at the UN Human Rights Council to express these concerns in September 2014, indicating our continued concerns over arbitrary detention, selective justice...

Enda Kenny: What about the bailout into which the Deputy's party led us?
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (12 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: The promised land - the cheapest bailout in history.

Enda Kenny: The Deputy walked away. He walked out; he could not stick the heat.

Enda Kenny: Put another €44 billion on top of citizens - my God.

Enda Kenny: The Deputy mentioned raising Topical Issue matters. I have already said I am happy to take Priority Questions from Members if they want to submit them on a weekly basis and deal with others afterwards. The Deputy mentioned the break-up of the European Union. Clearly, this is a matter of very serious concern to leaders. Prime Minister Tsipras has said that Greece does not want to leave...

Enda Kenny: Deputy Adams raised his question about recapitalisation, and he made the point that, as I said on that occasion back in June 2012, this matter would be a seismic shift in breaking the link between bank debt and sovereign debt.
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (12 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: Yes, and that is what has happened, because no more, Deputy Adams, if a bank goes bust will the taxpayer be out first to pay. The seismic shift in European politics is now in position, in that, if banks go down in future, the taxpayer is not going to be-----

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (12 May 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy comes back to the question of recapitalisation. As I said, this Government did not put a cent into Anglo Irish Bank - €34 billion gone down the tubes, gone, lost to the taxpayer, to the next generation. This Government has put in restructuring of €30 billion. We expect to get all of that back. There are two options to be considered here. One is the decision of...

Enda Kenny: That is the point of the decision of June 2012, and that position is still unaltered. The decision stands. It is there to be followed-----
