Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein)

Iarraim go gcuirfí am ar leataobh chun díospóireacht a dhéanamh ar dhá ábhar. I would like the Taoiseach to allow time for debates on two pressing issues and instruct the Whips accordingly. The first would be on the promissory note, which we discussed earlier. Given the level of public concern over the billions of euro being paid to Anglo Irish Bank, will the Taoiseach set aside time for this important issue to be debated in the House?

The second is on yesterday's joint declaration by the Taoiseach and the British Prime Minister, tá mé ag iarraidh go mbéadh díospóireacht air sin fosta. Such a debate would give the Taoiseach an opportunity to report to the House on his progress in respect of a range of issues, including whether the British Prime Minister responded to the Oireachtas's demand for an inquiry into the Dublin-Monaghan bombings, the Ballymurphy massacre and the killing of Pat Finucane.
