- Leaders' Questions (4 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: If we are to get into recriminations, let us consider what happened at Aldershot and Ranger Best and the killing of Larry White and Seamus Costello. This is the narrative we get into when there is not a serious effort made to understand I am articulating a viewpoint – one might disagree with me and believe I am absolutely wrong – that is entirely legitimate. I co-operated with...

Gerry Adams: I also wanted to raise the issue of the health service plan. I thank the Tánaiste for his answer. There is a need for a full debate in the Chamber on the plan. It is important because of the various issues that arise and the austerity cuts contained in it. My question for now is about a commitment in the programme for Government to develop sectoral job strategies, including a plan...
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: Every day brings a new revelation about the health services and the scandal of top-ups to senior executives continues to escalate. Hardly a week goes by without some revelation of how corruption and the culture which underpins it has contaminated many sectors of this State. I do not make this charge against the Government, although it has a duty to bring about the necessary changes and...

Gerry Adams: Answer the question.
- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: I came in here to ask the Taoiseach a question which is pertinent to what is happening at this time. It is about revelations which have scandalised citizens. He then goes on a meander which is beyond my comprehension. If the Taoiseach wants to have a debate about the past or about any other issue, I am happy to do that with him. We can arrange that at any time in any place that the...

Gerry Adams: The fact is that the issue of top-ups and two-tierism is bigger. I commend and appreciate the work of the Committee of Public Accounts but this is a bigger issue. The Proclamation makes it very clear that citizens have the right to equality. It does not state that is so unless a person is disabled or a child from Galway who has been stuck in hospital for life or because a person is sick....

- Leaders' Questions (10 Dec 2013)
Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach explain, now that he has said he will not have a full inquiry, why he will not have one? Citizens want to know what is happening within our health services. They want to know what is happening to money which they give to charities for dedicated causes and which are being used to top up already exorbitant payments to these top executives.
