Enda Kenny: ..., we remain resolute in our determination to counter the threat posed by global terrorism and all forms of radicalism that have at their heart the desire and intention to divide, dismantle and destroy. For me, the rally in Paris was an important display of unity and a rejection of the use of terror in the pursuit of political or religious goals. Europe and the world stood united and...

Homelessness: Statements (10 Dec 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...they can have a life. The unprecedented capacity and potential of more than €2 billion in investment means we will now have the opportunity to provide for that. I will say a word or two about how soul-destroying it is for people in emergency accommodation. They grieve not alone for what they had but, more crucially, for what they used to be when they had the privacy and dignity...

Confidence in Taoiseach and Government: Motion (9 Dec 2014)

Enda Kenny: Fine Gael and the Labour Party promised in the last election that we would overhaul the flawed bailout agreement made by Fianna Fáil.

Leaders' Questions (11 Nov 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...would not occur when they are away. The concern is not really an imaginary hundreds of thousands of litres of water leaking but the destruction of the house.

Enda Kenny: ...get together in a way that I hope could bring about a conclusion.

Enda Kenny: ...winter approaches, as well as €2 million for long-term goals including reconstruction, housing and essential infrastructure.

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 3: General (Resumed) (15 Oct 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...return to work. Analysis by the ESRI suggests that 60% of unemployed men and women with children face significant financial disincentives to return to work and that some are actually better off staying on the dole. How soul-destroying this is for the men and women involved, mothers and fathers who are keen to rear their children by their example. To help them get off welfare and back to...

Financial Resolutions 2015 - Financial Resolution No. 1: Tobacco Products Tax (14 Oct 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...it is not simply fiscal policy. As Deputy Reilly pointed out, when the racking cough starts and it cannot be gotten rid of people fade away physically, mentally and emotionally.

Order of Business (18 Jun 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...has put forward the view that this should apply again. This debate takes place every year. I remind Deputies Higgins and Ó Caoláin that there are people living on this island who want to destroy this State.

Enda Kenny: ...the wider implication for the trawl which produced evidence of systematic recording of conversations in Garda stations, and their retention, which have to be subject to a protocol if they are to be destroyed, as the Data Protection Commissioner pointed out. However, as the Deputy is aware, the Attorney General made an order that no tapes be destroyed. I think that is in the public...

Leaders' Questions (1 Apr 2014)

Enda Kenny: ...question of their retention and what to do with them was the subject of a letter from the previous Garda Commissioner to the Data Commissioner.
