Leaders' Questions (15 Apr 2014)

Gerry Adams: I think that on top of the other difficulties, the problem is that the Taoiseach, on behalf of the Government, gives very opaque and obscure answers to very straight questions. If Deputies will pardon the pun, there seems to be a drip, drip, drip attitude to our attempts to get answers. Contrary to what the Government is saying, we know that Uisce Éireann is seeking to impose a...

Leaders' Questions (15 Apr 2014)

Gerry Adams: The only thing I understand from what the Taoiseach told me, and for which news I am really grateful, is that Uisce Éireann is not the Government. I thank the Taoiseach for that. Nothing else gives this House any insight into what the Government has been doing, except the wee remark towards the end of the Taoiseach's contribution indicating the regulator will set a standing charge....

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Government Information Service (15 Apr 2014)

Gerry Adams: I have always tried to be fair here when I am dealing with the Government.

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Climate Change Policy (15 Apr 2014)

Gerry Adams: The point is that even if there were not these international warnings from impeccable sources bringing together all of the available scientific knowledge, our own experience would tell us there is a problem. Valentia Observatory in County Kerry recorded 33.25 inches of rain in December, January and February. That was 183% of what is normal. That is clearly a huge increase. In March, there...

Order of Business (15 Apr 2014)

Gerry Adams: The reason the Minister for Justice and Equality is not taking this debate is an issue I will leave aside for now because perhaps the Taoiseach can explain that.

I have been in the House all afternoon with the Taoiseach and have still not received it, although I am told a copy of it was...
