Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

This comes after nearly two years of negotiations that the Taoiseach continuously claimed were too intense, detailed and technical for ordinary mortals and decent Deputies to understand. Suddenly, the Bill now has to be rushed through. This is a mark of the Government.

The Dáil has never seen the fabled technical paper on the promissory note that, according to the Taoiseach, the Minister has been working on for 18 months. Where is it? What of the Government's claim in June that there would be a deal on legacy debt by October? Where is it? This is no way to deal with the Dáil. There is a certain benign arrogance about the way the Government treats the Oireachtas and the State's citizens, including the workers of IBRC. No amount of crocodile tears will undo the fact that, without notice and through the media, the workers were informed that their jobs were finished.
