The Coalition has won the motion of confidence in the Taoiseach and Government by 86 votes in favour and 55 votes against.
The motion was taken in response to a Sinn Féin no confidence motion in Enda Kenny, which was tabled to coincide with a water charges protest outside Leinster House tomorrow.
Speaking at the beginning of a three hour Dáil debate, Mr Kenny said he has no intention of calling an early General Election.
He said his preference for a Government into 2016 would be a continuation of the current Coalition.
Mr Kenny said the Government was elected almost four years ago and set out to do four things: rescue the economy, resuscitate the banks, restore Ireland's reputation and get people back to work.
He said the billions saved during the restructuring of Ireland's debt will be invested back into the economy.
Mr Kenny said the recovery plan has been opposed at every turn by parties of "sound bites and negativity".
He said the dole queues are at their lowest in five years and Ireland has the fastest growing economy in Europe.
"In a few weeks' time, people will see the difference in their pay packets," he said.
The Taoiseach admitted that the Government made mistakes and he said it had not fulfilled all its election promises.
Tánaiste Joan Burton said the Government has built an economic recovery and is now building a social recovery.
Ms Burton said robust debate in a coalition is to be welcomed not feared.
She said the Taoiseach is a man of integrity and has Ireland's best interests at heart.
Following earlier Opposition criticism of the political reform plans, Ms Burton said the Government is bringing in a new phase of political reform to restore trust in the institutions.
Fianna Fáil leader Micheál Martin said the phrase "Frankfurt's way or Labour's way" doesn't sound too dissimilar to "Europe can bugger off".
He said the Government is "arrogant, out of touch and out of control".
He said problems are only addressed when there is a massive public backlash.
Mr Martin said the Government has never produced a plan for the social and economic development of the country.
He said struggling families have borne the burden of the Government's measures.
Sinn Féin leader Gerry Adams said that the the Government is all spin and no substance.
He said that it has become the hallmark of the Government that is has refused to listen.
He referred to the "McNultygate affair" which demonstrated the Government's attitude to the arts and its "sleveen" attitude to state boards.
He said that the over-riding theme has been the pursuit of the deeply unfair economic policy.
