EU Summits (22 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I will address these questions in a thematic way. There are two issues, the first of which is the way the Taoiseach responds to questions. I asked direct questions - Nos. 4 and 5 - about the Taoiseach's priorities and whether he would raise the issue of the cut in the bailout's interest rate at the forthcoming Council meeting, but he did not answer either.

National Partnership Agreement (22 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: We must get more with less. Is there no way the Government might consider equality proofing some of these decisions? Of their nature, public services serve citizens.
