Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I do not accept that this is not possible. Everything is possible. Given the will of the Government and of the Opposition to protect these workers, if we decide to do it we can do it. What happened to "Is féidir linn"? Where are all the big speeches? This is a test of a Government. It is not simply the full flow of rhetoric. It is a test of a Government that as we approach the summer break we are telling these people and their families we cannot do anything. I do not accept that.
