Leaders' Questions (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Last night, eurozone Finance Ministers indicated that Spain will be given flexibility in its budget deficit targets in 2012. This follows from the Spanish Prime Minister's rejection of the austerity and deficit targets set by the EU. The Taoiseach has an entirely different approach. At every opportunity, he and his partners in the Labour Party have kowtowed to their masters in the EU and...

Leaders' Questions (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach says he cannot. It is rather odd he has no problem. He is able to introduce stealth taxes, cuts and austerity measures, but when it comes to paying €3.1 billion of citizens' money into a zombie bank, his answer is, "I cannot". What sort of leadership is that?

Leaders' Questions (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach might get some relief but really he is kicking a ball down the road. Our great-great grandchildren will have to pay this debt as opposed to our grandchildren and our great-grandchildren. Does the Spanish Government's unilateral decision and the Finance Minister's compromise not make a nonsense of this austerity treaty? Is it not clear from this one example that the deficit...

Cabinet Sub-committee Meetings (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach said he would not talk about issues discussed at Cabinet or Cabinet sub-committee meetings but last week he distinguished between the economic management council and meetings between the council and groups. In that spirit, has the Cabinet sub-committee on health met any groups or organisations since the beginning of January? For example, has it met the development board of the...

Cabinet Sub-committee Meetings (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach said that the Cabinet sub-committee on health met with the special delivery unit. Three weeks ago, the Irish Association for Emergency Medicine exposed the disgraceful situation in emergency units of children's hospitals, with some children waiting for 12 hours on trolleys. I wonder if the Taoiseach had the opportunity to discuss the topic with the special delivery unit. A...

IFSC Clearing House Group (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for his preliminary detailed answer. He might have covered the point I am going to ask about. If so, mea culpa. When I last asked about the Green IFSC, the Taoiseach reported that a marketing and business plan, including the proposed establishment of a Government-supported carbon market initiative, was being reviewed by an independent, cross-departmental evaluation...

IFSC Clearing House Group (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: It is not clear from the Taoiseach's reply if the independent cross-departmental evaluation group which was to examine the marketing and business plan is in place. Does it report back to the IFSC Clearing House Group? If so, how often?

Order of Business (13 Mar 2012)

Gerry Adams: Iarraim go gcuirfí am ar leataobh chun díospóireacht a dhéanamh ar dhá ábhar. I would like the Taoiseach to allow time for debates on two pressing issues and instruct the Whips accordingly. The first would be on the promissory note, which we discussed earlier. Given the level of public concern over the billions of euro being paid to Anglo Irish Bank, will the Taoiseach set aside time...
