Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Tá dhá cheist agam ar an Taoiseach faoi reachtaíocht atá forógraithe. Given the leak of the report - we must wait and see whether it is a real report or not - and the fact that the Halappanavar family will be put through another trauma, could the Taoiseach tell us when legislation for the X case will be brought forward by the Government given that on two occasions, it voted against a motion from Sinn Féin and legislation from Deputy Clare Daly?

We are advised that there will be some changes in family home tax introduced by the Government in the budget in the finance Bill. The Taoiseach will recall that in the programme for Government, the Government promised to take into account the situation of those in negative equity in any property tax proposal it brought forward. Yet the proposal now being put forward takes no account of mortgage distress or negative equity. Would the Taoiseach not use this opportunity given all the billions he says he gained last week to withdraw the proposal on a tax on the family home?
