Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: However, I repeat the Government has no mandate to implement these policies. The Taoiseach talks all the time about the people and democratic revolution. I have a question for the Taoiseach.

Leaders' Questions (22 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: Why does the Taoiseach not resign? Why does the Taoiseach not do the right thing, go to the people and let them have their say? That is what the Taoiseach should do. The Government should go and give citizens their say on its policies.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (22 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: The problem is that the Taoiseach recites all of these figures, statistics and so on but I cannot see any sign of an appropriate and focused investment by the Government in job creation. There is no ongoing effort to try to provide a better context for small businesses. The problems small businesses have are too high rates, too high rents and the fact they cannot get credit. These people...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (22 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: It is reasonable to ask what targets the Government has set. The additional spend earmarked in the budget is approximately €260 per unemployed young person. Is that enough for quality training? Is that enough for education? Does the Government have a strategy or has it even discussed the fact that so many people have left and are leaving? We have welcomed some of the measures put...

Order of Business (22 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: I understand the Department of Social Protection must do a social impact assessment of the budget. Has that assessment commenced and, if so, when do we expect to have it? Is the Taoiseach aware that the European Commission has criticised the fact that these assessments, which are quite limited, are done after the budget as opposed to before it? The assessment does not include budgetary...

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach avoided the question I asked, which was whether the Department of Social Protection would do a social impact assessment of the budget. If so, when can we expect to have it?

Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: Más cuimhin leis an Taoiseach, chuir mé ceist air inné ag iarraidh air éirí as a phost agus bhí mé dáiríre faoi sin. An raibh seans ag an Taoiseach smaoineamh ar sin? An cuimhin leis freisin an méid a dúirt sé faoin ábhar tábhachtach seo? Who said this: "to take away your rights to have a medical card beyond the age of...

Leaders' Questions (23 Oct 2013)

Gerry Adams: Níl an Taoiseach macánta liom. Táim sásta go ndúirt sé go raibh sé ag smaoineamh faoin cheist a chuir mé air, ach ní chreidim an méid a dúirt sé liom. In Irish or English, the mark of this Government is one of breathtaking arrogance. It is clear from the Taoiseach's reply that he is indifferent. It is not that he does not know...
