Enda Kenny: ...liquidity, and his Minister for Finance said that also, but that was not the case. He was not straight with the people when he said that the ECB and the IMF were at our shores to take away our economic sovereignty, cast away by his party, the great Republican party, after all these years.

Financial Resolution No. 34: General (Resumed) (8 Dec 2010)

Enda Kenny: The point is that the Taoiseach did not tell people the truth. He was not straight with them about the IMF or the ECB. These people have now taken away our economic independence. The Taoiseach cashed in our sovereignty and it is our job to see they are sent home as quickly as possible.

The recent decision by the European Commission to revise down its growth projection for Ireland in 2011 confirms that it...

They have concerns about their resolve to keep a roof above their heads and about jobs, employment and an economic future for themselves and their families.

The Taoiseach remarked in his contribution that some have sought to suggest that the European Union's involvement in the budgetary process would represent a loss of sovereignty.

I want an assurance from Deputy Cowen as Head of Government and Taoiseach of this country that in no circumstances will the Government hand over sovereignty of the running of our economy to anybody else who might have a different view.

Public Finances: Motion (3 Mar 2009)

Enda Kenny: ...to fear and uncertainty among businesses and consumers regarding future tax rates and Government spending.

I have been at ten or 12 public meetings. I am concerned at the lack of information that is getting out there from Government. One is confronted...
