Order of Business (12 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: This refers to the human tissue Bill. The Department of Health is currently advancing proposals on this Bill.

The Minister expects to bring those proposals to the Government later this year, when he will...

Enda Kenny: I made this point. Clearly the British Government's decision to appoint a Queen's counsel is not satisfactory. It is not satisfactory to us because it is a breach of an international agreement. It is not satisfactory to the Finucane family which feels completely let down. I have no idea what is in the papers or when the Queen's counsel may make a response or a finding. The Deputy will...

Enda Kenny: Yes, Ireland is one of the two parties to the international agreement made at Weston Park. What does one do where an agreement is not being honoured by one party? I raised it directly with the Prime Minister on more than one occasion and, as I undertook to the Finucane family to do, I raised it directly with the most powerful political office in the world, the American President. Clearly,...

Official Engagements (12 Jun 2012)

Enda Kenny: It is not simply a case of stating we are party to an agreement and asking them to do the necessary. This is an international agreement which has been breached by one party to it. However, it is not as though the party which has breached the agreement has indicated it does not intend to do anything about it. It has made an appointment of a senior counsel to go through and examine all of...

Enda Kenny: -----in Iran with President Obama. As to the Deputy's comments about what the President has stated about eurozone leaders, we discussed Europe, the eurozone and Ireland's position therein.
