THE GOVERNMENT HAS reordered Dáil business and tabled a motion of confidence in itself and Taoiseach Enda Kenny to be debated for up to three hours tomorrow afternoon.
The move is a response to Fianna Fáil and Sinn Féin both tabling a motion of no confidence in the Taoiseach in the wake of the findings of the Fennelly Commission.
Fianna Fáil’s motion was due to be debated during its private members’ time tomorrow night, but the government has scuppered this by tabling its own motion of confidence, which will be debated from 2.30pm.
The confidence motion will be the first item discussed by TDs as the Dáil returns from its summer recess.
Fianna Fáil has heavily criticised the move, saying the government is attempting to avoid a proper discussion on the Fennelly report.
Justice spokesperson Niall Collins said: “The way that the Government has behaved in responding to our motion of no confidence is entirely consistent with how they attempted to bury the Fennelly Report when it was first published.
“Instead of facilitating a debate on the implications of the report for the Taoiseach, the Government has now tabled a three hour debate on what a great job it is doing and what they see as the many outstanding qualities of Enda Kenny.
People can see this for what it is – the government attempting a contrived “lap of honour” rather than debating a report which had shocking revelations about how this government does its business at the highest levels.
Opposition parties have accused Kenny of having effectively sacked former Garda Commissioner Martin Callinan last year.
The Taoiseach has claimed the Fennelly report vindicates him citing the commission of inquiry’s conclusion that “the former commissioner decided to retire, and that he could have decided otherwise”.
Fennelly also concluded that Department of Justice secretary general Brian Purcell’s visit to Callinan’s home on 24 March last year – on the instruction of the Taoiseach – was the “immediate catalyst” for the commissioner’s retirement the following day.
A poll has found that most people don’t believe the Taoiseach’s version of events.

Pigs get a bad press, when in reality they are more intelligent than dogs, have long term memories, are social animals and only wallow in mud to cool down as they have no sweat glands.
Plus you can eat every single bit of one, except the oink!
It will probably be of no interest to you, or it may broaden your horizons who knows, but read this little piece on pigs.

Fair play enda. You’re not a giver….but we all know dob the pug is elbow deep in you and the rest of your treasonous minions.
On the bright side for the pigs. It has thanks to Cameron put them firmly in the limelight. Never before has pigs been given so much publicity. Now Cameron will probably hope the pigs disappear but since he started it by putting his privates in a pigs mouth. Then thecpigs deserve the limelight. Has for enda his a pig of a different sort. Nose in the trough and all.
yea, he likes to f*** the Irish people instead
Hameron apparently inserted one of his extremities in one of a pig’s holes.
Conversely, Enda Kenny allows the wealthy pigs in Ireland to insert their extremities into the people.
It’s a shame Sean Barrett wouldn’t tell Joan to ‘stick to politics’ every once in a while aswell.Or at least to just answer the fcukin question asked…
Enda Kenny is the master of flying pigs.
And he’s good at telling porkies!
Paul Murphy calls this ‘winning’. That’s the mentality of the waster. RBB and Murphy, pair of dopes.
Says the guy who wants to suspend ‘habeas corpus’ in NI and thinks that DCC are responsible for planning decisions with regards to satellite dishes.
This is what rbb thinks he is in the dail for?? An embarrassing question for all of us to be associated as a nation.
All we can safely say at the moment is we can not rule any thing in or out in the matter of Enda’s pork penchant.
would prefer kenny stick it in himself, better known ‘go f**k yourself’
I see YFG are under orders to get out on the journal tonight.
They do it out of love, Stockholm style.
Well we do know Enda likes to cross-dress, so he has a flamboyant side!

Wasn’t funny the first time
As odd as it sounds, I would pay to see Kenny stick it in his own mouth!
In other news, Rich Boy is getting overshadowed by Paul Murphy, and he’s throwing shapes to keep himself in the news.
Boyd Barrett would be a million times the Taoiseach that this pig Kenny is that is for sure.
Someone’s telling porkies here methinks
with Enid its a case of the ‘ porkies’ coming from his mouth!!!
Dirty Swines, the lot of em’
It’s truly beyond me how anybody could vote RBB I’ve eaten rashers with a higher IQ
This little piggy went all the way home to the Dail…
Enda Kenny..personality..contradiction in terms!
Do ignorant pigs count??
The joke should have been that the pigs head was called after a T.D. instead…
He prefers the sow Merkel .
More pigs for him I suppose.
have your say
