Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I welcome the Taoiseach's assurances that naval vessels will only be used for search and rescue missions. I reject his assertion that the deal between the EU and Turkey will not be suspended. That may be the case but I ask him to demand that it be suspended. I want to make it clear that he is not acting in my name when he agrees to a deal that has seen 500 people drown this month as a consequence. Will the Taoiseach be a dissenting voice - even if it is a lone voice - against this human and humanitarian crisis, which is not happening by accident? It is happening by dint of policy.
