Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

The Taoiseach may have noted the Executive in the North, with the active support of Sinn Féin and under the leadership of Peter Robinson and Martin McGuinness, announced a €700 million investment programme in hospitals and roads infrastructure. This is despite the Tory British Government cuts, a reduced block grant and limited fiscal powers. It is also real investment in jobs and economic growth which is in stark contrast to the Taoiseach's Government putting only €750 million into capital projects.
