Gerry Adams: Go raibh maith agat. Tosóidh mé ar an bomaite. This morning, hundreds of thousands of people are coming to terms with the prospect of two new stealth taxes announced by the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government, Deputy Hogan, yesterday. Tuigeann muid go bhfuil Fine Gael agus Páirtí an Lucht Oibre ag gearradh cána dúbalta ar an lucht oibre. Is mór an náire...

Leaders' Questions (1 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: There is a pattern to the Taoiseach's replies to questions that I put. He is always clear about what measures will cost the big people in our society, but totally unclear about what they will cost ordinary people.

European Council Meetings (1 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: My question concerns the Taoiseach's priorities for the next meeting and he did not answer that, with respect. The Taoiseach has frequently said that the reduction of the interest rate, which Sinn Féin welcomes, is a priority but he has consistently failed to raise it at meetings where it would be appropriate.

European Council Meetings (1 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am flabbergasted that the Taoiseach does not expect the reduction of interest rates to be on the agenda of the next European Council. He reduces his role almost to the level of a commentator on these affairs. His responsibility is to put the issue on the agenda and have it dealt with as speedily as possible. I asked a question which the Taoiseach did not answer and I will have to use my...
