Leaders' Questions (31 May 2016)

Enda Kenny: The Minister has made a full statement already and there has been quite a deal of discussion at the various Oireachtas committees on the question on NAMA.

Leaders' Questions (20 Jan 2016)

Enda Kenny: ...to get on and do this. Week after week the Deputy comes in here, but he has forgotten any sense of fiscal responsibility. If he wants to take another €2 billion of public services and put it into NAMA housing, then let me hear that proposition from him.

Enda Kenny: ...The next stage is for the local authorities who have been given the money, instructions and targets to get on with dealing with the supply of housing. This is all social housing.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (1 Dec 2015)
