Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The fact is that the issue of top-ups and two-tierism is bigger. I commend and appreciate the work of the Committee of Public Accounts but this is a bigger issue. The Proclamation makes it very clear that citizens have the right to equality. It does not state that is so unless a person is disabled or a child from Galway who has been stuck in hospital for life or because a person is sick. It says that all citizens have the right to equality.
