Gerry Adams: I agree with everything the Taoiseach has said. Perhaps the Minister for Communications, Energy and Natural Resources will write that down as well. Everything the Taoiseach says, however, highlights how short-sighted it is to end the modern language initiative. Everything he says would act to encourage such initiatives as opposed to ending them. It would be illuminating if the Taoiseach...

Gerry Adams: As a spectator to this little chitchat between the leader of Fianna Fáil and the Taoiseach, it is bizarre and surreal to listen to them talking as if in some way this Government and the previous one was all about job creation and growth, got it on the agenda and forced the European partners to come on to this ground.

Gerry Adams: On the issue of the promissory note, the Minister for Finance raised all sorts of expectations but then came up with something that does not reduce our debt, deficit or the State's liability to Anglo Irish Bank. In fact, we now have to find an additional €90 million in taxes and cuts this year because of the increase in the debt. That is a bit of wizardry, revisionism and spin.

Gerry Adams: I note Teachta Martin has taken to blaming Sinn Féin for everything, but global warming is something entirely different.

Gerry Adams: I presume Deputy Gerry Buttimer was talking about the Labour Party's partner in government in talking about the printing of money, but that is another story. A Cheann Comhairle, you might advise whether it is appropriate for me to ask about a commitment in the programme for Government at this stage.
