Enda Kenny: Prior to the sale of Siteserv, these documents on shareholdings were public documents and on the day of sale access to them is available. 11 o’clock I read the reports about the journalists who had access to the shareholding file of Siteserv, to the names and addresses of people who were shareholders and the stockbrokers who bought shares for individuals.

Enda Kenny: Last week, I saw some of your people outside the gates of McKee Barracks where 700 young students from all over Ireland were receiving the Gaelbhratach for what they had done in respect of the Irish language.
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: The contradiction was startling. If they are your people, you should speak to them. The Minister for Finance is very much in command of his Department. The Government has made a clear decision in the interests of everybody - the taxpayers and people - to have the facts and information provided as quickly and expeditiously as possible. The clear intention is that if Members of the House...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: All I am saying is that the Deputy will get the information. I do not know whether she has asked any of her media friends to book an appointment to look at the register of shareholders. The register was a public document before IBRC was changed and was available for public scrutiny. The Minister has directed that this be approved and the judge will adjudicate in the public interest on any...

Enda Kenny: They are in the possession of the special liquidator.
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: Who has authority over the special liquidator? The Minister for Finance has ordered the liquidator to produce evidence and files in respect of all transactions over €10 million from 2009 to February 2013, inclusive. That is much broader than the Siteserv sale. Clearly, the appointment of Mr. Justice Iarfhlaith O'Neill is designed to cover the element of the review that will...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: I think that deep down the Deputy has problems with the institutions of this State. If the Government decided to set up a commission of investigation, Deputy Adams, along with Deputy Martin, would be first out of the traps to say this was a cover-up and that we were afraid to produce the evidence or information before any general election in spring next year, that we did not want to tell the...
- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: It is much more expeditious and more in everybody's interest that all the information about this be made available. Who has the files on this? It is the special liquidator. Who ordered the special liquidator to collate all of those files valued over €10 million where transactions occurred and to bring them back to him before the end of August? Who said that if necessary, the...

Enda Kenny: I am sure Deputy Adams believes in the independence and objectivity of the Office of the Comptroller and Auditor General. That information, in terms of the public register, is now available for analysis as to who the shareholders were and who the stockbrokers were who purchased shares on behalf of clients. We also have a High Court judge to determine and adjudicate on any perception of...

- Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)
Enda Kenny: Deputy Martin does not like the truth very often. When the Minister for Finance was able to do something about this, he changed the regulatory framework and appointed a senior civil servant to ask questions. The freedom of information letters to which Deputy Martin did not refer show exactly the level of regard that the Minister, Deputy Noonan, had for the taxpayer in terms of asking the...
