Order of Business (22 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: With regard to the Government's strategy on suicide prevention and the mental health strategy, I do not know if the Tánaiste saw the report from the 3Ts charity which again put the focus on suicide. Somewhere in the region of 1,000 citizens across the island have lost their lives through suicide and, in my own constituency, 16 people died through suicide in 2011. One statistic really...

Leaders' Questions (28 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has again stated that he has full confidence in the Minister, Deputy Shatter, and he clearly knows something the rest of us do not, as the facts in so far as we know them are very straightforward. The Minister, Deputy Shatter, made use of privileged information he received from the Garda Commissioner in an attempt to smear an Teachta Wallace. He has acknowledged that. The...

Leaders' Questions (28 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: I must accept what the Taoiseach has read out, but I ask, "Why?". As I pointed out, in the case of Deputy Wallace a report was made. It seems to be a matter of form that Ministers, particularly those with responsibility for justice, obtain information from senior gardaí on their political opponents. This has been going on for decades and there is a long list including Sean Doherty,...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Staff Numbers (28 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: An Teachta Ó Fearghaíl asked and the Taoiseach answered most of the questions I had in mind. Because all these work-sharing positions are held by female staff, how many other staff members of the Department of the Taoiseach are women? He might not know off the top of his head.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Appointments to State Boards (28 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer. It is a good and positive advance that vacancies in these boards are publicised on the websites of Departments and that chairpersons come to Oireachtas committees and give an account of their vision. However, I note that an Oireachtas committee cannot prevent the appointment of a chairperson. I made the case previously to the Taoiseach that a real...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Presidency Engagements (28 May 2013)

Gerry Adams: The summit meeting - in respect of which I tabled a number of questions - must have been very disappointing. There are major crises occurring throughout the world. I refer to events in the Middle East, the ongoing situation in Cyprus - which does not appear to have got much mention at the summit - and the massive problem of youth unemployment. The figure for the latter here, approximately...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): EU Presidency Engagements (28 May 2013)
