Leaders' Questions (7 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: The most recent statistics indicate that every year more than 800 citizens lose their lives to suicide across this island. Last year the statistic was 525 in this State and 289 in the North; these do not include attempted suicides or people who self-harm. I know the Taoiseach has had personal experience of how this has affected people in this Dáil. Hardly a day goes by in which some...

Leaders' Questions (7 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: I look forward to receiving those figures, but by the end of last year only 62 of those 414 staff positions had been filled, which is a huge gap. The Taoiseach spoke earlier about the need for leaders to deliver. This issue is above party politics. I knew of the work of Deputy Neville before I came into the Dáil, when I was elected to the Northern Ireland Assembly and worked on this...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (7 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: I am sure the Taoiseach appreciates the difficulty that arises from the fact that some of these questions were tabled prior to the European Council meeting on 14 and 15 March, in that we are now, almost two months later, trying to deal with them. I do not know how we can resolve that problem. However, the Taoiseach may recall that prior to that Council meeting he agreed in response to a...

Order of Business (7 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: Tá cúpla ceist agam faoi reachtaíocht atá forógraithe. Bhí mé ag éisteacht leis an méid a dúirt an Taoiseach faoi conas is féidir ceisteanna chun an Taoisigh a dhéanamh níos fearr as seo amach. I listened intently to what the Taoiseach said about trying to rearrange Question Time. Today's session was the most frustrating I...

Leaders' Questions (8 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's loyalty to the Minister is commendable, but he must know in his heart of hearts that his stewardship of the Department of Health has been an unmitigated disaster for citizens. Two issues emerge from the latest U-turn. One relates to citizens with long-term illnesses who have been let down by the Government, while the other relates to how the Dáil comes to hear about...

Leaders' Questions (8 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: The rub is that if the story was not in The Irish Times, we would not be having this conversation. Health spokespersons or spokespersons for the Opposition would stand up here and ask questions, only to be told that it would happen by the end of the year or before the summer. It would be difficult for the Taoiseach to say the Government had made a hames of it, but that is what has happened....

Is it appropriate for the Taoiseach to ask the Tánaiste to make representations to the two...
