- Order of Business (10 Dec 2014)

- Order of Business (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: What Deputy Martin would love to happen, of course, is that the Government would try to guillotine Bills. There has been no guillotine introduced this year and there will not be.

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: What affects people when they see something like this going on in this kind of setting and do not do something about it? Would anybody here in this House not act appropriately if they were to be in such a situation?
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: Yes. I am just making the point that we do not have any disagreement here. In times gone by, the State always denied these kinds of issues. This has happened. We know it has happened. The question is what is the best, right, correct and most effective thing to do now. I recall meeting Christy Lynch a number of years ago. I found him to be quite an extraordinary person. He has the...

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: There is an action team in there at the moment. Three people have been brought in from outside the country. The head of that is the person who is really experienced at dealing with challenging behaviour in different settings. That is quite complex, as the Deputy can understand. It is not a case of wanting to say "Here is an answer" by calling the chief executives together. The Minister...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: Let us take the opportunity to have a far more detailed discussion of these matters in the House in order that the Deputy can get an up-to-date detailed report from the Minister for Health about this as it moves along. I do not object to that in the interests of information for everybody. It is a matter of deep concern to us all personally.
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2014)
Enda Kenny: The Deputy has raised several important items. He knows as well as I do that if an inspection arrives from HIQA or any other agency, attitudes can change within a facility very quickly.

There is a...
