Enda Kenny: No, the House is not the last to know.
- Order of Business (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: This is the publication of the Bill. Deputy Martin will have his chance next week to speak in the House on it. If we have to sit late during this month and next to get as much of the Bill through as we can we will do so, and we will need Deputy Martin's assistance in this.
- Order of Business (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: Yes. The amendment to the Electoral Act is short and will allow for the legal official use of the register of electors. The amendment was approved at Cabinet this morning and I expect to bring it before the House next week or the week after. This matter will be concluded prior to the House rising for the summer.
- Order of Business (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: The Central Bank has responded with regard to its monitoring of the situation in Ulster Bank. As Deputy Michael McGrath is well aware, this has been enormously stressful for people who either have not received their salaries or have been unable to meet their commitments. I am aware of the shifting sands with regard to rectifying the matter completely. I am not aware of what the actual...

Enda Kenny: A Fungi-ised response and I am glad the Deputy recognises it. With regard to the change-over to digital there have always been complications in a small number of areas throughout the country and special arrangements will have to be put in place so residents in these areas will be able to watch their favourite television channels and programmes. Such issues have arisen on a number of...

Enda Kenny: No, I do not think so to be honest. The heads of the criminal justice (corruption) Bill were cleared last week and it has a distance to travel yet. It certainly will not be before the end of the session.
- Order of Business (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: The criminal justice (miscellaneous provisions) Bill will be later this year. I expect the Bill in respect of vetting will be published prior to the end of the session but it will be the next session before it is enacted.

Enda Kenny: The important meeting of the European Council that will take place on Thursday and Friday of this week will have a full and significant agenda. The main item for discussion will be economic policy. The matters to be examined include the contents of a compact for growth and jobs and President Van Rompuy's report on how to strengthen economic and monetary union. We will also discuss the...
- European Council: Statements (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: I would be misleading the House if I did not acknowledge that some member states have not yet agreed to some elements of the compact, including the additional funding for the European Investment Bank. Some member states believe the bank should first make better use of the resources that are already available to it. There are concerns about protecting the bank's AAA rating. In my view,...

- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: I note the Deputy referred to a "burst" of incoherence. That word is very important to the Deputy's party. I recall one of its members saying on television that somebody would burst the party asunder. I am sure that is still stuck in the Deputy's memory.
- Leaders' Questions (26 Jun 2012)
Enda Kenny: It will be challenging and difficult to draft the budget for 2013. The target is to have the deficit down to 7.5%, which means a reduction of â¬3.5 billion, with â¬1 billion coming from tax and â¬2.5 billion on the other side. In respect of the Croke Park agreement, the Deputy is aware that the Government has received the independent analysis of that agreement. The Government will meet...
