Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

It is true that the Government is finishing the work begun by Fianna Fáil, but that is another issue entirely. What always strikes me is the huge arrogance of the Government in its refusal to have a debate on these issues. Will the Chief Whip explain when we will receive the documentation and when we will see the details? Some 15,000 deferred pensioners were robbed by the Government. They paid their divvy, worked very hard for the company and contributed to the tax system, but now they have been left. I have met many of them and I am sure all Members have been lobbied by them. Will the Chief Whip explain when we will have sight of the details in order that when we have a debate, we will be able to have an informed debate?
