Official Engagements (8 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. I welcome the fact the Taoiseach has raised some of these high-profile cases of injustice in a very public way, including the Pat Finucane case, the Ballymurphy case, and the Dublin and Monaghan bombings. I believe, however, that the Taoiseach's meeting with the British Prime Minister on 12 March was a missed opportunity to fundamentally rebalance...

Official Engagements (8 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for that response. Justice for the Forgotten, to whom I spoke this morning, is unable to get EU funding, unless it shifts its office up to the Border, to north Louth or south Armagh, and that is not feasible. I know people from all sides suffered in the course of the conflict but we must remind ourselves that this Oireachtas sought an inquiry and was critical of the...

Official Engagements (8 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: Tá fhios agam agus deanfaidh mé mo dhícheall. I acknowledge the Taoiseach has raised the issues of Ballymurphy, Pat Finucane and the Dublin-Monaghan bombings with the British Prime Minister, which I appreciate and for which I thank him. However, it has not worked and we are no further on in respect of the aforementioned campaigns. As for the Ballymurphy case, the British Secretary of...

Official Engagements (8 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: I was in Ballymurphy yesterday. These are huge issues in the lives of the people there and the Government could move forward these cases. Were the Taoiseach to adopt the approach of getting from his key civil servants the information in the Government's possession and presenting it to the British Prime Minister, he would have the capacity to persuade him and in so doing bring a huge amount...

Order of Business (8 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: When will the Government introduce legislation to deal with the concentration of ownership in the media sector? In this regard, the Taoiseach will have noted the manoeuvrings in the board rooms of independent news and media, including by some people with links to the Taoiseach's party. This is an important issue. I am interested to hear from the Taoiseach when this legislation will be...

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach is aware, the 1916 Proclamation declared the right of the people of Ireland to the ownership of Ireland. Everyone knows the Fianna Fáil leadership abandoned economic sovereignty to the International Monetary Fund-----

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: ----- the European Central Bank and the European Commission. While the Taoiseach quite rightly denounced this, he then went on to do the same thing. Yesterday, I asked the Taoiseach about Mr. Mario Draghi's vision for Europe after the austerity treaty. I will give the Taoiseach a second chance to answer the question he failed to answer yesterday.

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: He said the treaty is a first step towards a fiscal union. Sin an ceist. He stated the national governments across Europe will be obliged to accept the delegation of fiscal sovereignty to some form of central authority. The Taoiseach has indicated his desire to be the Taoiseach who retrieves Irish sovereignty and yet he agrees with handing over fiscal sovereignty to a European central...

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: ----- which has a mandate across this island and which was part of the most historic peace process in western Europe. It was a peace process against which the Taoiseach's party set its face and had to be brought into by the rest of us.

Leaders' Questions (9 May 2012)

Gerry Adams: I can only interpret the Taoiseach's answer as stating the way to get back economic sovereignty is to give it away. That does not make sense. Does the Taoiseach remember the document I have to hand, namely, the famous five-point plan? Yesterday, the Taoiseach told Members that he supported the growth agenda being advocated by the French President-elect. Given that the Taoiseach is the...
