Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

-----have no interest in due process or in truth when it comes to me personally or Sinn Féin generally. The Labour Party leader went further today and insulted the entire community of west Belfast, a community I was honoured to represent for decades. Innuendo, insinuation, distortions and untruths are the preferred weapons of choice of the Fianna Fáil leader, the Labour Party leader and the Taoiseach.

At the whim of the Fianna Fáil leader and the Taoiseach there is now a five hour debate around what are described as statements on the allegations regarding sexual abuse by members of the provisional republican movement. I hope this sets a precedent for regular debates on the North. I have been waiting for months for the Taoiseach to honour a promise he made here to bring forward a motion on the British Army killings of citizens in Ballymurphy. I would also point out that despite the contrived outrage and theatrics of the Fianna Fáil leader a number of Fianna Fáil members of his team have approached me privately to say how uncomfortable they are about their leader's behaviour on these issues.
