Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

This response is very disappointing as yesterday the Taoiseach stonewalled me on a similar question. This is all in the context of a Fine Gael commitment. The Taoiseach rightly identified the conflict of interest and set out a course of action, but he has not taken that course of action. I understand the Taoiseach met with the chairman of the Blackstone Group in November last year. Did he discuss this deal then? The Taoiseach is aware the citizens of this State are paying the price for the mistakes of others and for the austerity policies commenced by Fianna Fáil and followed through by the current Government.
