Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Therefore, the Taoiseach thinks it is fair. Rubbishing the proposals put forward by Sinn Féin in a dismissive way does not convince anyone. We put forward a thoughtful and costed proposal. The Taoiseach might disagree with it because he comes from a different political and ideological position. He has a different view and vision of how Ireland should be governed and society ordered. However, he also talks about the first three years of recovery. Is there not going to be an election sometime in the next three years? Is it not a little presumptuous of the Taoiseach to take the people for granted? Is there not a wee bit of humility required? Is it not part of his notion of a democratic revolution?
