Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

The programme for Government commits the Government to actively fulfilling its mandate as co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement. As part of this, the former Taoiseach, Deputy Enda Kenny, agreed to hold regular debates in the House on the North. In March the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform agreed to a proposal from Sinn Féin to introduce regular quarterly statements on the North. Given the failure of the latest phase of efforts to restore the political institutions and the absence of the rights-based foundation that they require, will the Government schedule the debates to take place as soon as possible? Given the Taoiseach's inability to communicate with me in a coherent way and his obvious frustration, perhaps he might limit himself, forget about the shallow silliness and answer the question I am asking him. When will the Government schedule the taking of the quarterly debate on the North, as determined by the Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform?
