Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Jul 2013)

Gerry Adams: I am trying to tease out the figures provided on the recruitment of staff in the mental health service.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (16 Jul 2013)

Gerry Adams: I wish to tease out another issue. Before I do so, I congratulate the new Minister of State, Deputy Donohoe, on his elevation to the post.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Official Engagements (16 Jul 2013)

Gerry Adams: My question relates specifically to Questions Nos. 17 and 18, which pertain to the retrospective recapitalisation of the pillar banks. I noted the chairperson of the Eurogroup last week stated there was no political support in the Eurogroup for retroactive recapitalisation of the banks.
