Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: The leader of Fianna Fáil has no credibility on this issue, given how his party mishandled the issue.

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: The fact is that Fianna Fáil mishandled the issue for five years. The Labour Party's need to brief the media about the Tánaiste's alternative report is clearly intended to appease those who expressed disquiet about the competence of the Minister for Health following the resignation of the former Minister of State, Deputy Róisín Shortall. This is no way to govern,...

Leaders' Questions (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I welcome that very clear commitment. I am sure the Taoiseach appreciates that parents of sick children will be discommoded by the various spins in the media, not least that the Taoiseach's partners in government felt the need to brief on the alternative report and so on.

Sinn Féin's position is to support the Government's efforts, but that includes being critical in a...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I wish to make a few remarks about this word "special". The joint communiqué with Angela Merkel was a very necessary piece of damage limitation, required because of what she had said and the interpretation thereof. Let us not over-egg that though, because it was full of the language of diplomacy, of constructive ambiguity, of fudge. I may be able to help Teachta Boyd Barrett with his...

European Council Meeting: Statements (24 Oct 2012)

Gerry Adams: I hope that does not phase the Tánaiste in the time ahead. I am sorry that the Taoiseach had to leave. That is not a complaint - I simply wanted to make a point to him. When he was asked if he thought our debt was sustainable, he said that it was unfair. I have been arguing, as has my party, that the Government has a very strong hand to play here. In our weakness, we have strength....
