Constitutional Convention: Motion (10 Jul 2012)

Gerry Adams: Yes, but the Taoiseach should read his manifesto. The last year has seen a continuation of what I used to hear the Taoiseach railing against when he was in opposition - the same old politics and old economic approach, austerity, lack of equality and the waste of much valuable time. In the good times maybe that could have been afforded, but not in these dire economic times. However, there is...
