EU Summits (15 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am dealing with Question No. 1. I acknowledge there are differences between the economy in this State and the economies in Portugal and Greece. What we have in common is that we have all lost economic sovereignty and citizens have been forced to pay a debt they did not create. Is there merit in trying to build alliances? Has either the Taoiseach or the Tánaiste done any work in that...

EU Summits (15 Jun 2011)

EU Summits (15 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: That is fair enough and I respect entirely your ruling. You are a very fair Ceann Comhairle.

Has the Taoiseach opened up any negotiations or discussions with them to the benefit of the people of this State?

Programme for Government (15 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tomorrow marks the Government's 100th day and I wish it well because I believe in constructive opposition. Part of the role Sinn Féin is trying to play relates to the notion that good Government needs good Opposition. The fatal flaw in the Government's position is that, while it made a considerable number of commitments, the past 100 days have seen U-turns, reversals and the breaking of...

Water and Sewerage Services (16 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: It is entirely appropriate on the hundredth day of the Government being in office that we debate the introduction of water charges. Fine Gael pledged that it would not charge for water until a new water authority had been established and each home had been fitted with a water meter. This has now been set aside, like other promises, and a flat rate is to be imposed on every household,...
