- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)
Enda Kenny: He made his comments in Germany. The Chancellor said some of these things could be considered, but we have always taken the view, as the Deputy did when he was President of the Council, that whatever views are put forward, Ireland is quite prepared to consider and talk about these things. However, we have very clear lines that we do not cross. On his first visit to Berlin as the new...

Enda Kenny: I do actually. The Good Friday Agreement predates the decision on Brexit by 19 years and we have been very much at pains to point out that the Brexit referendum result does not influence, tinker with, or change the Good Friday Agreement in any way. As the two Governments are co-guarantors of the Agreement, we want it to be implemented in full. Protecting the gains of the peace process in...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (16 May 2017)
Enda Kenny: I propose to take Questions Nos. 1 to 4, inclusive, together.

Enda Kenny: I accept that everybody who is due a payment or grant should be able to receive it on time. This, however, is not a legislative question. I am sure that a written Dáil question giving the details would result in an answer being given. I take the point about the scoping exercise that was being carried out and I will arrange for the Minister, Deputy Creed, to follow through on that....

Enda Kenny: It is a matter of allocation within the Vote for a very important issue and the HSE manager should be able to advise the Deputy as to the opportunities that exist to transfer other moneys into that Vote to ensure that these orthodontic procedures can be carried out for people who need them in Cork and Kerry.

Enda Kenny: I am sure this is a matter for discussion between the local authority and the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government.

The heads of this Bill were approved by the Cabinet last week. The issues mentioned by the Deputy can be raised, dealt with and teased out when the Bill goes for pre-legislative scrutiny. In light of the nature and scale of...
