Order of Business (8 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...people who have lost their homes. When a person's house has been flooded and it is ruined forever it is a very trying period for people. They cannot stop the flood waters coming through and it destroys the house. We approved a memo this morning on a single issue in this respect with a €10 million fund.

European Council: Statements (2 Nov 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...pays nurses, gardaí, public servants and everybody else. It has also extended that from short-term funding to 12 month funding. The rationale is that if we do not pay, we ruin our reputation and destroy the possibility of continued further investment in here. I listened to Deputy Boyd Barrett, who has since vacated the House since making rather hysterical comments about having an export...

EU Affairs (27 Sep 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...approximately €100 million. As I pointed out, the savings that might be achieved in dealing with the extent of the promissory note would be of a far greater proportion than this and would not destroy the rising credibility and enhanced reputation that Ireland has achieved with our European colleagues and internationally in the past six months.

Leaders' Questions (25 May 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...Deputy wants me to be definitive but he would not want me to be foolish about this. The fact is that I have stood in kitchens where people have cried with frustration because their homes have been destroyed by pyrite.

Leaders' Questions (3 May 2011)

Enda Kenny: I am sure the Deputy will join me in condemning what appears to be deliberate arson attacks by a person or persons unknown in various locations throughout the country. Vegetation was destroyed as a result of the frost last winter and the current dry weather, so with the strong breeze these fires have become quite dangerous. I spoke to the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local...

Leaders' Questions (12 Jan 2011)

Enda Kenny: ...or playing a round of golf. What this does, however, is to cement in people's minds the close, cosy relationship between the Fianna Fáil Party, big business and bankers. In its own way, it has destroyed public confidence both in politics and in the future of our country. As a consequence, it has put so many people in fear, anxiety and financial difficulties. On three occasions last...

EU-IMF Programme of Financial Support: Motion (15 Dec 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...bailing out these reckless banks and their investors was necessary to protect Ireland's credit rating - proved to be a catastrophic misjudgement. This policy of writing blank cheques for banks has destroyed our country's credit worthiness. If it were not for the historical and potential future losses for Irish taxpayers from the bank bail-outs, Ireland's public finance problems would be...

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

Enda Kenny: ...that it too lacks any sense of confidence in the Government's growth policies. These mistakes can be laid directly at the Taoiseach's door and the door of the Minister for Finance. They have destroyed our economy and the morale and confidence of the Irish people. There is nothing in the budget speech or in the Taoiseach's contribution today that reaches out to those young people...

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

Enda Kenny: ...in which they now live. These times are too dangerous. The problems we face are too serious for a Government that continues to cripple the spirit of Ireland and our people and which continues to destroy any prospect of growth with sky high taxes and to leave in place waste and inefficiency. There is nothing in the Government's document about real reform of the way we deliver our public...

FINANCIAL RESOLUTION No. 14: INCOME LEVY (7 Dec 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...completely wrong in this case. We oppose this group of Financial Resolutions because they will hit low and middle income earners. The imposition of income tax as proposed by the Government will destroy the traditionally low level of tax levied on the wedge between the employer's bill and the take home pay of the employee. The Government is going to force down the standard of living for...

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...Government has gone one better in that blank cheques have been written from the taxpayer to Anglo Irish Bank and other reckless lenders to bail out their investors. This blank cheque policy has destroyed Ireland's creditworthiness. If it were not for the historical and potential future losses for Irish taxpayers arising from the Government's banking policy, our public finance problems...

National Recovery Plan 2011 - 2014: Statements. (25 Nov 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...that Anglo Irish Bank could not be wound down because it was of systemic importance to the Irish economy. He told us the negotiations with the subordinated bondholders in Anglo Irish Bank would destroy Ireland's reputation. This is the same Minister for Finance who a week ago said we did not need any outside help. Afterwards, the Taoiseach announced that those people were invited to...

Adjournment Debate Matters (19 Oct 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...appalling and they show that, from the beginning of the banking crisis, the Taoiseach has known the situation was far worse than anything the people were being told. Not only was the economy being destroyed by the Government but it was wilfully concealing the truth of the extent of that destruction from the people in what amounts to a national catastrophe. This cannot go on. We have...

Announcement by Minister for Finance on Banking of 30 September 2010: Statements (30 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...lost confidence in the banking strategy of the Minister for Finance, but they have also lost confidence in his economic strategy. Any small credibility he might have had left with the markets was destroyed last week when the Government produced its so-called "jobs strategy". It says a lot about this Government and how out of touch with reality it is that it thinks getting a series of...

Issue of Writs: Dublin South, Waterford and Donegal South-West By-elections (29 Sep 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...by-elections. The Taoiseach knows that if he sets that date, it will precipitate a general election, which will put the Government out of office for ten years because of the failures that have destroyed the country and crushed the spirit of the people. That is the real reason it is running away from the voters. Two of our three candidates are in place — Senator Coffey in Waterford and...

Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...an economic disaster that will forever carry the logo, "Made by Fianna Fáil." If he had any integrity he would already have resigned. If he had any respect for the people whose lives he has destroyed he would already have called a general election. However, for him the supreme political virtue, the only virtue, is loyalty to party. He puts that before loyalty to country and people....

Confidence in the Taoiseach and the Government: Motion (15 Jun 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...nourished by the dreams and hopes of its people. Its lifeblood is the trust that binds us, which allows us to say, "We are all in this together". It is that central trust which the Taoiseach has destroyed. He has divided Ireland between the insiders, who manipulate the system for their own benefit, and the vast majority of our citizens, who are left powerless on the outside. He has...

Leaders' Questions. (19 May 2010)

Enda Kenny: ...loan guarantee scheme for small businesses throughout the country which would get credit flowing again, protect jobs and strengthen the Irish economy? A fundamental sector of the economy is being destroyed by a bank policy that is concerned only with protecting shareholders and building up reserves.
