In Brussels, Labour Party MEPs voted against measures that are now part of the austerity treaty. One described austerity as a recipe for the rich to get richer and the poor to get poorer.

Gerry Adams: I have two questions for the Taoiseach, the first of which relates to reports that the religious orders have only handed over a fraction of the agreed amount of compensation in respect of abuse committed by their members. Tá mé ag lorg eolais faoi sin. An bhféadfadh an Taoiseach a rá leis an Teach an stádas a bhaineann leis seo ag an mbomaite? Second, has the Taoiseach discussed with...
