Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I wish to raise the manner in which questions to the Taoiseach are organised and taken. The first tranche of questions today relate to March, which was three months ago. The second tranche are about the meeting of the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development, OECD, in Paris at the beginning of February. We probably will not reach them today, so they will be postponed to another day. It is not an efficient, representative or inclusive way to deal with these matters. Clearly, some of the issues are ones we consistently raise, but the context changes. I will now ask some of the same questions that were asked earlier regarding the undocumented Irish in the US and our tax laws. I also wish to concentrate some of my time on the ongoing situation in the North. Will I deal with the tax first and then refer to the North?
