Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday I asked the Taoiseach about the conflicts of interest in NAMA and the financial system. I reminded him of Fine Gael's commitment to straighten this out and to get transparency and clarity, but ní bhfuair mé freagra soiléir ar bith ón Taoiseach inné. Therefore, I have another question for the Taoiseach. The Irish Bank Resolution Corporation, the bank formerly known as Anglo,...

Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: This response is very disappointing as yesterday the Taoiseach stonewalled me on a similar question. This is all in the context of a Fine Gael commitment. The Taoiseach rightly identified the conflict of interest and set out a course of action, but he has not taken that course of action. I understand the Taoiseach met with the chairman of the Blackstone Group in November last year. Did he...

Leaders' Questions (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Therefore, the Taoiseach has a responsibility to ensure that assets being sold by IBRC and NAMA are sold at the best possible price and that there is no conflict. How much is the Blackstone Group being paid to advise the IBRC on these loan sales? Can the Taoiseach give us some indication on this?

Tributes to Staff Members (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Aontaím leis an Cheann Chomhairle agus leis an Taoiseach; chuir an Taoiseach go maith é leis na focail fhlaithiúla dheasa sin. Ó tháinig mé anseo, chuir an fhoireann fáilte mhór romham agus mar sin, ar son Shinn Féin, gabhaim buíochas leo agus go raibh an t-ádh leo agus lena gclanna.

Order of Business (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: I have similar questions to those raised by Deputy Martin. When does the Taoiseach expect the Referendum Commission to be established? Has he selected a chairman for the commission? When will the Bill to amend the European Communities Act 1972 be brought before the Dáil?

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday, the Taoiseach reluctantly bowed to the democratic imperative and the right of citizens to vote in a referendum on the austerity treaty. Most of my remarks will focus on that treaty because it will have a profound and long-lasting impact on the people of this State and across the island. Tá an reifreann seo fógraithe ag an Taoiseach ach ní toisc gurb é sin an rud ceart le...

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: No. We have potentially saved ourselves a lot of money.

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: Since the first drafts of this treaty were leaked to the public last December, Sinn Féin has consistently argued that there is a democratic imperative for a referendum. The Taoiseach knows that and he avoided the issue. There is now also a legal and constitutional imperative. While we should not try to turn a necessity into a virtue, the Attorney General could do little else.

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: All the focus in discussions surrounding the treaty, involving the Government, has been to avoid a referendum. Media reports emanating from the EU have confirmed this. Speaking at the Oireachtas Joint Committee on European Affairs, the Tánaiste also admitted that Government negotiators were actively trying to weaken the text and to insert the words "preferably constitutional" in order to...

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: So the referendum will now take place and Sinn Féin welcomes this. Crucially, it means that the people - the citizens - will have their say on a matter of profound and long-lasting consequence. Equally importantly, the details of this treaty, the European Stability Mechanism and their implications will be fully discussed and debated before a final decision is made. It is called democracy,...

European Council: Statements (29 Feb 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach should also move speedily to clarify the timeframe for this referendum. Will he give a solemn undertaking to this Dáil and to the citizens of this State that he will abide by whatever outcome is reached? Is gá go ndéanfadh an Rialtas díospóireacht mhácanta, agus gan na vótairí a mhisniú chun vótáil i gcoinne an chonartha. This week when the Taoiseach goes to...
