- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: It is a matter for the Whips to make arrangements for that. This has been a matter of considerable public interest, particularly in north Meath for the past ten years in respect of a major line there. I will communicate the Deputy's interest to the Minister. The legislation is to be published in the new year. There should be an opportunity for the Deputy's request to be considered. It is...
- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)

- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: That is due next year.
- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: The heads of this Bill have not come to Government yet for clearance. The entire communications process is changing rapidly and, in many ways, the age of television is moving on, so the point raised by the Deputy will be part of the discussions surrounding the legislation. I assure the Deputy that if this is the case, the committee and the Dáil will have full access to it.
- Leaders' Questions (13 Nov 2013)

- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: I do not disagree with every expert. I was making the point to Deputy Donnelly that we have experts on everything available, nationally and internationally. The changes to the Standing Orders represent a genuine attempt to ensure Bills that come before the Government at heads of Bill stage would move to the committees for that consultation process. We are trying to make that the norm. It...
- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: Sir Humphrey put the ball wide. The Freedom of Information Bill has been around for a long time. The changes introduced ten years ago were pretty radical and it has been moving through since then. This Bill was published in July. I am pointing out that we want it to become the norm based on the change to Standing Orders for every Minister, once they receive clearance for heads of Bill at...
- Order of Business (13 Nov 2013)
Enda Kenny: It is a great advance in medical science that babies and young children are able to live a normal life once the tracheotomy has taken place. People are trained when the children are at a very young age to clear the blockages in the system. The issue raised by the Deputy does not require legislation. I expect the matter to be referred to in the health service plan, which the Minister for...
