Leaders' Questions (31 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: The issue here goes beyond the two cases I have raised with the Taoiseach. I also raised these in writing with the former Minister for Health, Deputy Reilly. I also sent him photographs that Eamonn Kennedy's sister, Maeve, took of his injuries at that time. The Garda has also investigated the matter. At the core of this is the concern among people about outsourcing care for citizens...

Leaders' Questions (31 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé críochnaithe anois. I believe the Taoiseach when I hear him saying that citizens should have the very best care possible, but that is not happening. Where it is not happening, how are we to know about it? Will it be a drip feed? Is it not now time to have a fully independent root-and-branch inquiry into all care facilities for citizens with disabilities, particularly...

Gerry Adams: I have received representations from families of clients of the Redwood care facility in County Meath. One such client, Eamonn Kennedy, was admitted to Redwood in January 2010.

Order of Business (25 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: With respect, the Taoiseach is mumbling a lot and we cannot hear him over here. I ask if he could raise his voice a wee bit, please. Tá trí cheist agamsa, ceann amháin faoi Bhille na dTeangacha Oifigiúla, ceann faoin mBille um Sheirbhísí Uisce agus faoin mBille sláinte poiblí (alcól). D'fhoilsigh an Comhchoiste um Chomhshaol, Cultúr agus...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: He disclosed to the House that the Minister has yet to put a proposal to the Cabinet but he refused to outline the legal basis for the process which he wholeheartedly supports. That would seem strange to most people but in Enda land the absurd presents itself as a form of government. In Enda land, we heard this morning that water charge bills will be issued by Irish Water to citizens who...

Leaders' Questions (25 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Government has spent €540 million on meters but only €50 million on the leaking pipes he decries so much. He refused to answer my question, once again. Is it not ironic that a Labour Party Minister, the Minister for making it up as he goes along, is responsible for this mess? In Opposition the Labour Party firmly ruled out the introduction of water charges but it has...

Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (24 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: Ná bí buartha.

Water Charges: Motion [Private Members] (24 Mar 2015)

Gerry Adams: Water is a human right and while water services must be paid for, this must not be done through a double tax on hard pressed citizens. The water charges, coupled with other taxes and charges imposed by Fine Gael and the Labour Party, will cripple households and families. From the outset, Irish Water has been mired in scandal. It is a toxic entity, which has become synonymous with...
