Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Enda Kenny: Deputy Adams should listen to the other side of the argument and the reasons people should vote for the treaty, which includes investor confidence, a guarantee of access to funding as outlined by a European Commissioner yesterday and the capacity for us to put our own house in order for the future.

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Enda Kenny: A "Yes" vote leads us to a continued stream of investment decisions for our country and to our people having an insurance and guarantee that this country will always have access to back-up funding, should it be required and, to put our own house in order.

Order of Business (8 May 2012)

Enda Kenny: The Minister, Deputy Rabbitte, met with the board this morning for more than two hours. This was an appalling case, one from which the board members did not resile.
