Gerry Adams (Louth, Sinn Fein) | Oireachtas source

Today marks the 21st anniversary of the Good Friday Agreement, of which, as we know, the Government is co-guarantor with the British Government. Unfortunately, the power-sharing arrangement is not functioning at this time because of the denial of rights by the DUP which is in breach of the agreement. The Taoiseach has taken to blaming Sinn Féin and An Teachta McDonald for this. Yesterday he blamed Leas-Uachtarán Sinn Féin, Michelle O'Neill, for the breakdown. The Tánaiste who works with Ms O'Neill knows that this is untrue. Will he have a word with the Taoiseach and ask him to desist from making these misleading and unhelpful remarks and instead fulfil his obligation to have the Good Friday Agreement fully delivered and the rights of citizens of the North upheld? He promised recently that nationalists in the North would never again be left behind by an Irish Government. People in the North listen to what is said in this Chamber. The DUP is encouraged by these remarks, but nationalists are upset, annoyed and embarrassed by them.
