Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá an-éigeart ag baint le seo agus tá a fhios sin ag an Taoiseach mar is fear maith é i dtaobh rudaí mar seo. Táimid ag fanacht ach níl muidne tábhachtach ar chor ar bith. Tá saoránaigh eile ag fanacht fós. Seventeen years is too long, given the all-party support for a commission of inquiry. There is no reason whatsoever this cannot proceed immediately. There are sexual abusers...

Leaders' Questions (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: That is almost exactly the same answer given to me on the last occasion.

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá dhá cheist agam - Ceisteanna Uimh. 7 agus 8 - so leanfaidh mé ar aghaidh le Ceist Uimh. 7 agus tiocfaidh mé ar ais arís le Ceist Uimh. 8. We learned last week that 9,000 staff are leaving the public service. To the surprise of some of his Cabinet colleagues, the Taoiseach spoke about transition teams that were put in place. Are those transition teams in place? An bhfuil siad ag...

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister for his reply which is very informative. However, my questions were specifically about the transition teams he announced. To the best of my recollection he did not mention them in the course of that very detailed response to my question. In terms of the crisis in the health service I dealt with the case of a 96 year old lady who was on a trolley for three days in...

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: May I ask a question related to the issue I have just raised?

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: It is related to it.

Departmental Staff (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Ceann Comhairle and Deputy Micheál Martin for giving way and will be brief. The questions I asked on this issue were asked following the referendum and I can quote them if the Taoiseach wishes. He gave a commitment that the Minister for Health would meet the people involved, but that has not happened. He also gave a commitment that he would meet me, as well as other Opposition...

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Was the Taoiseach watching events at the RDS at the weekend? I do not mean the Fianna Fáil Ard-Fheis.

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Yes. Was Deputy Martin at the RDS?

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: I refer to the Working Abroad Expo. Quite a few people commented to me about it and I made a special effort to watch a news clip on it. It was graphic testimony to what is happening in this country in that 5,000 or more, mainly young, people were queueing up to find out whether they could get work elsewhere. It is a sign of where we are and of the great haemorrhage of our youth. That...

Official Engagements (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: I once again warmly endorse the work being done in the US and it is a matter of the Taoiseach's judgment what issues he wants to raise. Having said that, it is disappointing that he did not get the opportunity to raise the Pat Finucane case. I find that sometimes these matters do not have to be raised publicly, especially if dealing with people who might not necessarily be involved in...

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé an-sásta go mbeimíd ag díospóireacht i nGaeilge amárach. An Teachta Aengus Ó Snodaigh a mhol an rúin sin.

Order of Business (6 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach go ndéanaim féin mo dhícheall caint i nGaeilge achan lá, anseo agus taobh amuigh den áit seo mar is le mo chroi an Ghaeilge. Tá ceist agam faoi reachtaíocht atá forógraithe. So far the Taoiseach has refused to say when the Bill on the referendum will come before the Dáil. However, there are three related pieces of promised legislation, namely, the...

Gerry Adams: Tuigim sin.
