- Leaders' Questions (23 May 2012)
Gerry Adams: I also welcome the Taoiseach's newfound conversion to the growth and jobs agenda. When he came back to the Dáil on 14 December to report on the austerity treaty, he never once mentioned in his statement jobs or growth. He waxed lyrical and promoted the treaty around its budgetary discipline, reinforced budgetary rules for countries but there was no word about getting people off the dole...

Gerry Adams: -----making savage cuts-----
- Leaders' Questions (23 May 2012)
Gerry Adams: Given that he believes in savage cuts and given his failure to put money into jobs investment and have direct Government-led investment, instead putting money into banks, that is very bad economics. That is why he supports the austerity treaty. His is a party of austerity. In terms of the debate, or the Taoiseach's failure to take part in one, does he not think it is very bizarre that, as...
- Leaders' Questions (23 May 2012)
Gerry Adams: He will then trot out and say his little bit and try to persuade people to say "Yes" to austerity, when people are sensible and will say "No" to it. The Taoiseach should remember it is a very good thing to say "No" to something that is not good for oneself, one's family, one's community, one's state or one's country.
- Leaders' Questions (23 May 2012)
Gerry Adams: Would it not be more leaderly, for the Taoiseach, to come into a television studio and inform people, leaving his policies open to scrutiny by others and have a genuine informed debate, as opposed to the hecklefest he has in the Chamber? He could argue these points so that people can take an informed decision on 31 May? I certainly hope that people will vote "No".

- Order of Business (23 May 2012)
Gerry Adams: The Government has promised to reform the consolidated domestic violence legislation. The Taoiseach will be aware that Women's Aid is due to publish its annual statistics next month. Figures released by Safe Ireland indicated an increase of 38% in 2010 in the number of women and children who were unable to access refuges. One presumes that the figure will have increased last year due to...

Gerry Adams: Tá mé sásta go bfhuil an deis seo faighte againn chun dÃospóireacht a bheith againn ar an ábhar seo. Tá mé sásta fosta go bhfuil na gaolta anseo linn anocht chun éisteacht leis na tuairimà éagsúla. William Butler Yeats' poem, September 1913, applies perfectly to the survival of the Moore Street national monument and the clash between two starkly different cultures. On the one...
