- Order of Business (7 May 2014)
Enda Kenny: There is a particular reason for this and it is constitutional. It is the House that appoints Ministers and the House which should hear of resignations. I am sure that if I went over to the Deputy out the back and said Minister X or Y was resigning, he would be away to tweet and put claims on it.
- Order of Business (7 May 2014)
Enda Kenny: The reason is constitutional - it is this House that appoints and confirms Ministers. It is this House and its Members that should hear about ministerial resignations.

- Leaders' Questions (7 May 2014)
Enda Kenny: When I say that GSOC did not co-operate with the senior counsel, I mean that GSOC expressed difficulties in respect of furnishing documentation to him. Clearly, Deputy Shatter, as Minister for Justice and Equality, pointed out on many occasions the inadequacies, as he saw them, of both the then confidential recipient structure and the structure of GSOC itself. If a properly functioning GSOC...
