Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

This is an important business. Our job is to try to keep the Government accountable. Will the process mentioned by the Taoiseach include the universal social charge, the water charges and the poverty taxes? We compiled our report after 100 days, which was before the revelations about the junior doctors. I invite the Taoiseach to support Sinn Féin's Private Members' motion this evening. Deputies who are present promised their constituents that acute accident and emergency services would be kept open.
