Enda Kenny: This is doing something about it that is credible, practical, logical and in the interests of the patient. There will be a better delivery of a more effective and visible health service in the interests of the patient.
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: As Deputy from County Louth representing Drogheda, Deputy Adams should not have to ask that question about rogue operators. What is involved here will put an end to that. Accountability and transparency, with effective delivery of hospital and medical services for all people, are what is at stake. We do not want to see a repetition of the scandals in the north east in the past. We will...
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: It is nonsense to say nothing is being done about this by the Department of Agriculture, Food and the Marine or by the Minister. They have been very proactive in dealing with the fodder crisis, which principally arose from the very cold and bad weather that has been unusual this year and has had a direct impact on the input costs for farmers having to buy feedstuff. The lack of fine weather...
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: The working group has a function. I have no wish for it to be like working groups in the past, which did not do anything other than make a report.
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: As Deputy Martin is aware, this issue concerns the lives of women here. It is also true to say that if a general practitioner anywhere in the country has a concern about someone in his surgery who may be in this category, he will not say to her that he is sorry and that she will have to wait 18 months because of his concern that she cannot be screened. If the GP has a genuine concern that a...
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: We are all interested in this. We need to understand and assess the numbers waiting for 18 months for assessment. Are they all for this particular category? Am I to understand that if a GP has a person in his surgery this morning, he must say that he is sorry and that they cannot do anything for the patient for 18 months despite the fact that she may have a serious possibility or...

- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: Cases have come to my clinic involving those covered in the private sector who were advised to go through the public hospitals and actually got treatment there very quickly.
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: People who are at immediate risk can be referred by their GPs for immediate screening where there is a risk and a probability that they may well be in this category. I assume that the working group will assess all of these figures and realities. At the moment, if a GP has someone about whom he has a genuine concern to the effect that she may be in danger of being caught by this type of...
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: The answer to Deputy Adams's last question is "Yes". There has been extensive consultation in the last period with consultants, doctors, agencies, organisations, the people and with public representative about the major hospitals, the lower-tier hospitals and local hospitals. The impact of this is to have a situation whereby it is clear that medical personnel are working in teams in the...
- Leaders' Questions (15 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: I, like millions of others, read the story of the actress Angelina Jolie and her decision to have a mastectomy, as well as her statement to her children that their mammy would always be the same. She made her decision based on the risk of death, as her mother had died of ovarian cancer. This is of particular interest to a cohort of women in this country and around the world. The demand...

- Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: The heads of the children's Bill were cleared on 23 April and the Bill will be introduced later this year. The betting Bill the Deputy referred to was published last year but so many amendments were required that it had to be redrafted and will probably be republished during this session.
- Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: The Bill will be redrafted and published in this session.
- Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: I suggest the Deputy put down a Topical Issue matter on the second issue he raised. I know the Deputy attended the committee hearing on postmasters and the report is with the Minister for his consideration. He will bring his response to the Government and the House.
- Order of Business (14 May 2013)
Enda Kenny: The answer to the last question is yes, it does. The forestry Bill was published on 24 April. The heads for the electoral (amendment) Bill were cleared on 30 April and the Bill will be taken this session, as will the local government Bill. Deputy Higgins raised a matter about Coillte. He will be aware, following the Government's decision that the harvesting rights of Coillte's forests be...
