Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

I was reflecting on what the Taoiseach had said during the general election that he would not be dependent on support from any Independent. I am also reminded of what Deputy Micheál Martin said that his main objective in the general election was to make sure Deputy Enda Kenny would not be returned as Taoiseach and that Fine Gael would be put out of office. In the spirit of Deputy Micheál Martin's question, will the Taoiseach explain the understandings and agreements reached between the Government and Fianna Fáil, as a result of which we have seen these huge U-turns? The Government has done an U-turn on NAMA, bin charges, zero-hour contracts, Irish Water and the Moore Street project. Perhaps the Taoiseach might indicate, in the spirit of transparency, what other understandings to which he has come with Fianna Fáil.
