Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

To be clear, I am addressing my questions to the Taoiseach, not uachtarán Fhine Gael. The renowned artist Robert Ballagh has stated that the record of the Government on the arts is the worst of any Government in the history of the State. Its attitude to appointments to the board of IMMA is a further illustration of this. A central plank of the Fine Gael Party's election platform in 2011 was one of political reform. In recent days, however, the Taoiseach attempted a political manoeuvre straight out of the Fianna Fáil handbook of political strokes.
