State Visits (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: I know a lot; I get my black and white pudding there, but sin scéal eile. Deputy Keating referred to the political benefits arising from the English Queen's visit. I have a question on this because it concerns the job of the Government. I was in Cork at a united Ireland conference, which was very successful and at which we had a very good discussion. Has the Government raised or has it...

Gerry Adams: Question 3: To ask the Taoiseach the number of times that the Cabinet sub-Committee on Health has met; the members of this sub committee; and the regularity with which it is envisaged that this sub committee will meet. [17198/11]

Cabinet Sub-committees (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Perhaps the information I was seeking was contained in the Taoiseach's answer but I missed it. Could the Taoiseach clarify the remit of the sub-committee? There is frustration over the fact that we can only ask how often such committees are allowed to meet and the identity of the members. We cannot ask about their work because of Cabinet confidentiality. I note from looking through the...

Northern Ireland Issues (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé an-sásta go raibh an Taoiseach ann ag oscailt an droichid nua i nDoire. Bhí lá galánta ann sa chathair stairiúil sin. Bhí mé ag caint le Martin McGuinness faoi sin agus bhí seisean ag labhairt faoi "brand, bright new day" - níl a fhios agam an raibh sé ag labhairt nó ag canadh. Tá áthas orm fosta go raibh an Taoiseach in ann dul chuig Otharlann Altnagelvin, tá obair...

European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Go raibh míle maith agat. The substance of the Government's approach to the EU summit seems to have been to convince our partners in Europe that we are not Greece. Nuair a bhí an pobal Gréigeach ag léirsiú tamall ó shin, dúirt siad "ní Éireannaigh muidne". Mar sin, tá dhá thaobh den scéal sin. The unfortunate reality is that if the Government continues to follow the failed the...

European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: As the Taoiseach has heard me say before, I do not understand his negotiating strategy, although I have tried hard. I do not think Fianna Fáil has much credibility on this issue, but that is scéal eile. When Fine Gael was in Opposition, he was quite rightly against this deal. What are his objectives? He has set them in broad-stroke terms. Since he came into Government, every time he...

European Council Meetings: Statements (29 Jun 2011)

Gerry Adams: Excuse me. Deputy Mathews is doing exactly what I accused all the Deputies of doing, and I am surprised at him. Would the Taoiseach not agree that the dreadful social consequences of this deal are too great for Irish taxpayers to have to pay? Would the Government not be better to do now, in a planned way, what it should have done when it came into Government - that is, to tell our partners...
