Leaders' Questions (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: That is absolute nonsense. The Deputy does not live in the real world if that is his philosophy.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: It is proposed to take No. a8, motion re ministerial rota for parliamentary questions, without debate; No. b8, motion re membership of committees, without debate; No. 1, Criminal Justice (Withholding of Information on Offences Against Children and Vulnerable Persons) Bill 2012 [Seanad] - Second Stage (resumed), to adjourn at 5.30 p.m. if not previously concluded; and No. 6, Microenterprise...

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: The personal insolvency Bill will be published and circulated on Friday and a full press conference will be held on Friday to deal with any questions on the details of the Bill. It is expected that Second Stage will be taken probably next week. It is not a fact that the banks must wait for the Bill to be enacted before they start dealing with their customers and their borrowers. The very...

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I will not give the Deputy a timeline for Committee Stage because I do not expect this will be concluded before the summer recess. There is a great deal of interest in this legislation but if we can have concluded Second Stage before the summer recess we will be doing very well.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I would say that is probably a realistic time period, when the Dáil resumes after the summer recess. We can work through the Committee Stage process. October is a good bet, I would think. We are anxious to have it finalised appropriately around that time.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: It is not a case of the personal insolvency Bill not being brought to the House. On Friday, I want Members to have a copy of the Bill, the explanatory memorandum and the questions and answers across a spectrum of areas dealing with this.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: The Government approved it yesterday.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: It must be proofread, printed and prepared to be available on Friday.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: That is the reason it will be brought to the House next week. It is not a case of having it physically available for Government Deputies; it has to be done for everybody. It was approved yesterday, will be published on Friday and all the details will be in the House next week for the start of the process. The fiscal stability legislation will be introduced in this session also.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: This is not a case of having to go to any bank to seek approval to publish. The banks have no control over any reforms this Government wishes to introduce in legislation.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I cannot tell the Deputy when it will be discussed because the heads of the Bill are due for approval later this year. We will try to expedite it but I cannot give the Deputy an answer to his question about a specific date.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: The heads of the collective investment Bill have not yet been approved and there is no date for the publication of the Bill. The Central Bank (consolidation) Bill will be published next year. The heads of the companies Bill were cleared a number of years ago. There are 1,300 sections in the Bill and it is expected to be published late this year.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I expect the Bill to be on Committee Stage in October but if we can get it onto that Stage before the end of September when the Dáil resumes, so much the better. It will go straight from Second Stage to Committee Stage. If we conclude Second Stage before the recess, that will be better. Obviously arrangements must be made in respect of training and appointing personnel for the advisory...

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: The general intent is that responsibility should be devolved to local authorities. The consultation process for reform of this is under way with the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, councils, local authorities and anybody else who is interested. The Minister will reflect on the findings of that and bring a memorandum to Government in due course. I regret that I...

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: That is an important issue that has been referred to on many occasions. That Bill will be brought in towards the end of November.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I assume it is a matter for the Whips. There is no objection from here to having a debate on it. I will ask the Chief Whip to raise the matter at the normal meeting.

Order of Business (27 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: I will not comment on a matter that is before the High Court.
