- Questions on Promised Legislation (8 Mar 2017)
Enda Kenny: That is part of the dilemma. Deputy McDonald described it as a huge error. The Minister of State, Deputy Finian McGrath, made a genuine attempt to deal with this matter because it is so important. It is also important to say that the Act that sets these up requires the order to be laid before the House and the terms of reference to be separate. The terms of reference are approved by the...
- Leaders' Questions (8 Mar 2017)
Enda Kenny: The Government is willing to try to get this as right as possible. Every case that is brought to light has different circumstances attached to it. If the numbers are as large as has been surmised, then we need to reflect on how best to do this from Ireland's point of view. Ireland's shameful past is again in the spotlight. We are charged with the responsibility to get answers to these...

Enda Kenny: Far from insulting the women of Ireland, I want to stand by finding out answers to these particular problems and particular questions. It is beneath you to take that line, Deputy Connolly. The Garda has a duty. We will certainly contact the Garda if that site is not sealed off already.

Enda Kenny: When Deputy Danny Healy-Rae goes to Páirc Uí Chaoimh on 3 July to see the new stadium which the Government has given assistance to the GAA to build, he will pass through Macroom. He will be glad to know that the contractors have been appointed for the preliminary design of the Macroom bypass. It will not be done by the time he is coming back in victory or defeat from Páirc...

Enda Kenny: After the statutory investigation into the Grace case, the Government moved to set up a commission of investigation with the intent that it would have the scope and capacity to do the job intended.

Enda Kenny: Clearly in this regard, this commission was given a very specific remit. It has not reported its official findings yet; we know that. The coroner and the Garda have their responsibilities also. It is not a case of rushing into this to say we have now covered everything.
