Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The Taoiseach said he would not countenance forming a Government beholden to Independents. He said it numerous times so there is another election promise out the window. Tugtar Rialtas nua ar seo, ach leis na daoine céanna agus an treo céanna. Ar deireadh, beidh na polasaithe agus na torthaí ceánna againn le linn an chéad Rialtas eile. However long the Government lasts, whenever it is eventually elected, if it is, Sinn Féin will fulfil its obligations as the real leaders of the Opposition. We will support positive measures brought from the Government and particularly the Opposition benches. We will oppose the Government when it is wrong. In the interests of citizens we will hold this Government comprising Fine Gael, Fianna Fáil and the "Endapendents", who will prop them up, to proper and robust account.
