Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I came in here to ask the Taoiseach a question which is pertinent to what is happening at this time. It is about revelations which have scandalised citizens. He then goes on a meander which is beyond my comprehension. If the Taoiseach wants to have a debate about the past or about any other issue, I am happy to do that with him. We can arrange that at any time in any place that the Taoiseach is prepared to have that debate with me. We will examine the role of the Taoiseach's party historically, the role of the leaders of the Taoiseach's party historically as well as my role and the role of anyone else involved in Irish republicanism. However, the Taoiseach should not use that issue to dodge the question.
