Questions on Promised Legislation (17 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I want to raise the issue of the Government's commitment to funding for the Garda Síochána Ombudsman Commission, GSOC. We are all agreed, and I have just said, that sections of An Garda Síochána treated Joanne Hayes and her family in a disgraceful way. I remember the case and a friend of mine, the late Steve McDonogh, published a book highlighting how Joanne was treated....

Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I welcome the Government's apology to Joanne Hayes. The re-emergence of this tragic case is bound to be traumatic for her and her family and the mother of baby John. I express our solidarity with them. I raise with the Tánaiste the Government's abject failure to provide essential services for children with disabilities who are in the care of the State or who are in the community at...

Leaders' Questions (17 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: I am sorry to say the Tánaiste's answer is disappointing. We have just dealt with an historical case. We deal with many historical cases, but the report of the Ombudsman for Children does not deal with an historical case. This is happening now on our watch. Children with disabilities are being denied backup support. The refusal to restore the pay of the people who look after such...

Hospital Trolley Crisis: Motion [Private Members] (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Health care should be a right for all citizens and not a privilege for the well-off. Need, not means, must be the philosophy underpinning our approach to health. The public health system should be free at the point of delivery, based on need and funded by progressive taxation. The Government is opposed to this. It does not support the duty of the State to provide public services. The...

European Council: Statements (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Bhí mé ann fosta, leis an fhearthainn. Ahead of the crucial meeting of the European Council last month, Sinn Féin made it clear that it was vital that the Government secure additional guarantees from the British Prime Minister about the legal standing of the joint report issued by the European Commission and the British Government in December. We said that additional...

European Council: Statements (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: We want the Taoiseach to move beyond the rhetoric. We want him to drill down and ensure there is delivery on some of what he has been saying.

European Council: Statements (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Rock solid, iron clad guarantees that resolve the contradictions were required to allow the negotiations to move to the next phase with the approval of the Irish Government. That is what has happened, but the question is whether we have rock solid, iron clad guarantees. I can only assume that the Taoiseach sought them. We could ask him whether he secured legal assurances from his British...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committees (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: It has been revealed that almost 50 additional boxes of files have been supplied in recent weeks to the Charleton tribunal. I know that is a result of the Taoiseach's directing that all relevant files be sent to the tribunal. I am sure, however, that he was surprised at the volume, and perhaps he was alarmed at revelations that some hearings of the tribunal had to be rescheduled because...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Ministerial Dialogue (16 Jan 2018)

Gerry Adams: Obviously, the whole-of-government approach, as it is described, is a perfectly sensible way to come at things. However, what we want is delivery, action and a joined-up approach. There has been failure to deal with these major crises. I keep coming back to this point - I imagine every other Deputy has the same experience. There is unnecessary stress in the lives of people, especially...
