Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Why will the Taoiseach not consider a third tax band? Why can he not consider exploiting natural resources for the common good, including offshore oil and gas resources? Why can he not tell the IMF and the EU that we wish to run our own affairs? We cannot always blame Fianna Fáil for what Fine Gael and the Labour Party is doing. Fianna Fáil has its responsibility but the Taoiseach is now repeating every mistake it made.
