- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: We want to reflect on a country that was left in an economic swamp a few years ago and which is now the fastest growing in Europe. Our reflections on 1916 must bear in mind the words of the Proclamation and the use of our ability to develop our country. Deputy Adams must own up because the Proclamation-----

- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: We cannot continue with 500 of the treatment works that supply water to businesses and people all over the country in an inferior condition. Out of general taxation, the division of them for schools, hospitals, roads and other services has never been sufficient other than to catch up with an inadequate infrastructure and an intolerable situation. Every new business and industry set up or...

- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: The trustees wrote to the Minister for Transport, Tourism and Sport. They recommended that the course of action being pursued here following legislation and the expert panel is the best option. This was voted upon by the membership in, Aer Lingus and 70% gave their verdict in favouring it. The Department of Finance said this could rescue the situation. As I said, the deficit now is...

- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: Tá súil agam go mbeidh sí béasach don Cheann Comhairle as seo amach. The position concerning the decade of commemorations that we are now entering into is one we have discussed here on a number of occasions. I do not accept that all of the noise I heard down at the GPO was about the issue of water. Some of the personnel I saw there I have seen in other locations when it...

- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: Those who might have interfered with them will be brought before justice, as the case may be, as the Deputy has often espoused himself.

- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: The announcement made by the Minister, Deputy Heather Humphreys, is part of the ongoing consultation in respect of the very best things we can do in commemorating not just 1916 but also the decade of events whose centenaries are approaching. That is why she has already announced that the parade in 2016 will be led by relatives of the 1916 leaders. In addition, there will be a State occasion...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: I do not accept Deputy Adams's references to glossy images. What is involved here is a genuine effort to have this recorded and commemorated in the very best way possible. That is why the professional historians' group has made recommendations about authenticity, inclusiveness and accuracy in respect of many of these events. I have heard lots of views about what should happen on Easter...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Nov 2014)
Enda Kenny: This has dragged on for years and has been of great concern to those involved. The deficit is €769 million. We established an expert panel that considered all the combinations and possibilities involved and was able to bring forward a further €20 million. Scheme membership comprises 5,000 active members, 5,000 deferred members and 5,000 pensioners. There is widespread...

We have a motion on water reforms, which have been requested by every Deputy in the House on Leaders' Questions, Topical Issue debates, emergency debates and questions every day for the last number of months. I know very...
