Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

I came here to oppose the Order of Business but as the Ceann Comhairle has pointed out, there is no proposition. I oppose it because I want to ask for a debate on this issue. It is entirely legitimate for the Taoiseach to set time to one side for this. When the news first broke, the Taoiseach said he had no idea how this happened, while the Tánaiste said he was confused. The Minister for Finance has since confirmed his proposals were involved.
