Order of Business (22 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: The point I wished to make is that while I appreciate that the Taoiseach will be attending the European summit, there must be an urgent debate on this issue. I hope Deputy Martin will be as eager in seeking debate when other tribunals bring forward their reports in the future.

Order of Business (22 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am sure the Taoiseach was sincere in his remarks about narrowing the gap between the people and the Government. The findings of this report will be seen by citizens as a confirmation of their view about how corruption worked in this State. One way of proving it has stopped is to have a full, frank and open debate. Why wait until next Monday? I cannot bring to mind many other...

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: I have two questions. This issue is being debated on the airwaves, in television studios, in coffee rooms and front rooms all over this island and, for all we know, in different parts of the world where there is an interest in Irish affairs. It is not being debated in this House. Why are we being prevented from having a change in the Order of Business to allow debate to proceed this...

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Well may you laugh, my friends. I made the point yesterday that if some unfortunate woman steals a loaf or a litre of milk she will end up in the Joy, but when this serious indictment of people on the Government benches is made they hurrah and laugh and guffaw.

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2011)

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2011)

Leaders' Questions (23 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: I asked him detailed questions. He appears not to believe the person who sat in that seat when he made all sorts of statements, yet he chooses to throw a cheap jibe at us when we are, in a constructive way, trying to shed lights on these affairs. I will put the question again. Has Fine Gael received any moneys from any of these sources which have not been declared? Coming back to the point...

Northern Ireland Issues (23 Mar 2011)

Northern Ireland Issues (23 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tuigim sin. However, it is a matter for me to express my opinion without interruption. These are extremely serious issues in respect of which there have been many developments. I also met Senator Pat Leahy during my visit to Washington, particularly as funding from the IFI is of importance to Border counties in this State, including Louth, which I represent. I am unsure of the nature of...

Northern Ireland Issues (23 Mar 2011)

Gerry Adams: I wish to deal with the fact that the British-Irish Agreement remains to be fully implemented. For understandable reasons, the Government's focus has been on dealing with the economic recession. However, many matters have to a large degree been placed on hold. There should be a North-South consultative forum, which has not been established, and the bill of rights has not been introduced....
