- Leaders' Questions (5 Nov 2014)
Gerry Adams: Struggling families have a right to know about these charges. The Taoiseach once said "Paddy likes to know" so perhaps he can tell Paddy and Patricia whether the figures put forward by the Tánaiste are correct. If her figure is incorrect how much will be charged for water?

Gerry Adams: This Government has been sitting for three and a half years and the legislation was introduced almost a year ago but the Taoiseach still will not tell people what they will be charged.

- Order of Business (5 Nov 2014)
Gerry Adams: I object to the Order of Business. There are more pressing matters which must be dealt with today. The Seanad has had a debate, but we are not allowed to have one. I ask the Taoiseach to change the Order of Business to allow a debate, not least because the Seanad has called for a referendum on these pressing matters.

- Order of Business (5 Nov 2014)
