Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

First, the Taoiseach should not misquote Sinn Féin policy, but if it is a choice between taking carer's allowance from 325 people and taxing those who are earning €100,000, then there is no choice; it is a no-brainer for anybody with any sense of social justice whatsoever. This Government has made the choice to take the mobility allowance from citizens who need help to move about the place. What this Government is doing is a disgrace - it protects the rich, the elites, the bankers and the developers, and it does not look after citizens who are dependent upon the State.
