Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: Let me be the first to acknowledge that the Taoiseach is níos líofa ná mise sa Ghaeilge. Tá a chuid Gaeilge an-mhaith, ach ní hé sin an t-aon difear idir mise agus an Taoiseach.

Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: Fan. Tá mise soiléir, ach níl an Taoiseach soiléir i mBéarla nó i nGaeilge. I put a very direct question to the Taoiseach. If I understand his answer - when we eventually got around to it - he said he was aware that the letter would be sent to those not paying by direct debit. Therefore, he did know. He was aware that the letter was going to go out to...

Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: The issue with rates in the North is that people get services for those rates. When this was introduced the Taoiseach promised that 80% of the money collected through the property tax would go to support local services. Last week he reneged on that promise. People will not get any benefit in local services by paying this very unfair tax. This is the first admission that the Taoiseach knew...

Gerry Adams: How often did the Cabinet Committee on Health meet?

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Ceann Comhairle for letting me speak. The Taoiseach itemised, among other elements, that the Cabinet sub-committee on social policy had a responsibility for poverty reduction and social inclusion. Then he gave us a long litany of measures, some of them perhaps very commendable, but he was not able to tell us whether the sub-committee had dealt with the need for a poverty impact...

Order of Business (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: I want to raise three issues. The first is with regard to the commission for the recovery of the bodies of the disappeared. I saw the programme last night and I took part in the programme. I took part in the programme in order to try to focus on the necessary effort to get those whose remains have not been recovered retrieved as quickly as possible and returned to their families. I ask...

Order of Business (5 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: My final question relates to the child and family recognition Bill. I welcome the announcement to the effect that the Government intends to hold a referendum on marriage equality. This is a very progressive step and Sinn Féin will actively support it. The civil, religious and legal rights of lesbian and gay people, include the right to marry, must be fully protected in law. Will the...

Inniu tá ceist agam faoin aos...

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: Chubby Checker would envy the Tánaiste's ability to do the twist. He has refused to answer my question.

Leaders' Questions (12 Nov 2013)

Gerry Adams: He did not answer my question. If the Tánaiste is as serious about youth unemployment as he says he is, then why does the 2014 action plan for jobs not include youth unemployment? Why has the Government not tackled youth emigration as a priority? During Ireland's EU Presidency the Tánaiste claimed that the Youth Guarantee scheme was one of his big ideas. Yet in the budget a...
