Gerry Adams: A Cheann Comhairle, on a point of order-----

Official Engagements (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: On a point of order, the Taoiseach has included a question in respect of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings which has little to do with cross-Border matters and which deserves a separate answer.

Official Engagements (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: With the Taoiseach's indulgence, I return to Questions Nos. 11 and 17, as separate matters. Regarding the other issues, a great deal of important work can be done in terms of the implementation bodies, the Council of Ministers and all the areas of agreement. The only policy position the Government can hold is to expand and build on these. The stance from thinking Unionists, particularly...

Official Engagements (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I put question No. 11 to the Taoiseach before he went to meet the British Prime Minister and it is a direct question: to ask the Taoiseach if he will raise directly with the British Prime Minister the need for the British Government to accede to the unanimous request of Dáil Éireann in July 2008 for all files and other information in respect of the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. From...

Official Engagements (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Ceann Comhairle said he would give me some leeway on this issue and I am sure Deputy Higgins will give way for a few seconds.

Official Engagements (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach did not ask the British Prime Minister to hand the files over; that is all we can take from his response. He said there may be minor protests. Justice for the Forgotten has made it clear it will not organise a protest during the visit by the Queen of England, that it will organise a day of commemoration for those killed on that day. Is the Taoiseach aware that funding for...

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I note from media reports this morning that the former director of Allied Irish Banks, Colm Doherty, received a package of €3 million when he stepped down last November. I accept that this happened under a Fianna Fáil Government, or at least the contract was put together under that Administration. I call on the Government to intervene now to stop this obscene payment. People are in...

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: We need to know there will be real changes. People who are victims of the universal social charge, people who cannot pay their rent, people who cannot put food on the table want to know whether the Government will intervene to stop this payment.

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: It is not good enough. This is an act of subversion.

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: Well may Deputies opposite laugh. It is the people's money; it is happening on the Government's watch.

Leaders' Questions (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Government can bring in emergency legislation. It can put a stop to do this, but it does not have the will to do so. The golden circle is as alive today as it ever was under the regime led by Fianna Fáil. Who were the public interest directors? Dick Spring, Declan Collier, Michael Somers - circle upon circle upon circle. The Taoiseach has a vast majority in this House and he will...

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: I ask about a matter that has been removed from this week's schedule, that is, the promised debate on the revised memorandum of understanding between the Government and the EU and the IMF. The Taoiseach is always lauding the Government's efforts in acquainting and informing the Dáil of developments, but we received limited scéal on this from a news conference. Will the Taoiseach commit to...

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: What about a vote on the issue? There is plenty of time. As our Whip stated, the Whips could arrange time to have the debate this week.

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: We know all about the troika and how it came and told the Government what the latter should do. We want to have a say and a vote on these issues.

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: The debate was promised. There have been more broken promises from this Government.

Order of Business (19 Apr 2011)

Gerry Adams: It was actually on the schedule but has been removed. It is not right that this Government tears up commitments.
