In many cases, this information was already in the public domain but I hope I have clarified it for the Deputy and the women who were concerned now.

Enda Kenny: This Government made arrangements to face up to the challenge with the people. It did so by building a programme which, through the tax system, would allow for jobs to be created and sustained and for our economy to grow. The challenge was accepted and, as was pointed out at the conference yesterday, the real winners and heroes of that challenge are the people.

Enda Kenny: Deputy Adams made a point about what he told everyone years ago. He said that those in Europe should go and get stuffed and take back their money with them as well. Deputy Adams said that we had surrendered - an unusual term - the possibility of retrospective payout in respect of the decision made on 20 June 2012. For the information of Deputy Adams, the Minister for Finance has made it...

Enda Kenny: What we have tried to do and what we are trying to do is make choices in the best interests of the taxpayer to recover all the money that has been paid into the banks by this Government since it came to office.

- Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy's sense of righteousness is extraordinary. He wanted to know answers to some questions. I cannot answer the question for him as to whether every one of the 21 facilities he has mentioned have submitted plans for planning permission, whether planning permission has been approved for them, or whether funding has been provided in the budget for each of these 21. I cannot answer...
- Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2015)
Enda Kenny: The Minister for Health and the Minister of State have all the details about these things. I said to Deputy Martin that €36 million was allocated in the 2014 programme.
