- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2013)
Enda Kenny: The provisions are strictly within the Constitution and the law. That is how the Bill was framed and that is the objective. As I said, some people want an entirely different regime, with changes that would alter the situation very much indeed. While I understand the point the Deputy is making, this Bill deals with the circumstances in which a termination of pregnancy is allowable, namely,...

Enda Kenny: This is a matter of considerable importance. The different local authorities throughout the country have operated independently for many years in the way water systems were supplied and water standards devised.

Enda Kenny: I will get back to the Deputy regarding the report on Irish Nationwide Building Society. In regard to the MFF, the Tánaiste has worked exceptionally hard at this. I travelled with him to Brussels on a bank holiday Monday for discussions on the matter with the President of the European Commission, Mr. Barroso, and the President of the European Parliament, Mr. Schulz. Agreement in this...

Enda Kenny: As a husband and father, I know a pregnancy always brings a sense of excitement to a couple and of hoping the birth will be one of joy and lead to a child who can live a long, happy, fulfilling and contributing life. Everybody can understand the Deputy's comments and have some compassion on the issues he raises. I have come across cases where this has applied and the pregnant mother wanted...

Enda Kenny: I am in receipt of representations from various groups around the country regarding the Protection of Life During Pregnancy Bill which is going through the House. Some of these groups would like a much more liberal regime, some are calling for no change, while others would prefer a very much restricted position. What I am required to do as Head of Government is to deal with our Constitution...

Enda Kenny: I cannot answer that question for the Deputy. The tapes of which we have heard sections were acquired by the Garda four years ago as a result of warrants served and confiscations made. Bí cinnte go bhfuil mé ag éisteacht leis na daoine an t-am ar fad, agus casaim orthu ar fud na tíre gach uile lá.
- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2013)
Enda Kenny: Ní cheart duit é sin a rá ar chor ar bith. Bím ag éisteacht leo, cosúil leis an Teachta agus gach Teachta eile. Tá fhios agam go maith an brú atá orthu. What we are going to do is process the legislation currently proceeding through the House in order to set up a parliamentary inquiry. It is to commence in the autumn, and we will do the work...
- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2013)
Enda Kenny: We need to find out the reasons for the evolution of that culture, the personalities involved and the way the decisions were made. I repeat as I stand at this seat that there is nothing in the Department of the Taoiseach with which I can inform myself about the visits by bankers to senior Ministers or predecessors in my office, to record what was discussed or agreed or to point out the...
- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2013)
Enda Kenny: I discussed this yesterday with Deputy Martin. In order to create the space that Deputy Adams talks about, it is necessary to pass the legislation for the parliamentary inquiry system in both Houses, give the inquiry specific terms of reference, resource it properly and allow it to do its job. That job includes calling in the principals and other personalities involved to give their...
