- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Departmental Records (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: I was somewhat surprised by the audacity of the Fianna Fáil leader in complaining about some Deputies naming names and making allegations about others because, as the Ceann Comhairle is aware, Teachta Micheál Martin only recently completely ignored due process and named a number of Sinn Féin activists, including private citizens, and alleged that they were involved in serious...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: This little session has been rather instructive for me. In response to the first question, the Taoiseach simply withdrew charges that he has made consistently and repeatedly. The position on the big question of retrospective debt was claimed by the Taoiseach and the Tánaiste of the day, Deputy Eamon Gilmore, as being a game changer and a seismic shift. We had all of the spin and...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): European Council Meetings (16 Dec 2014)

- Order of Business (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: May I also speak to No. a20?
- Order of Business (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: The way in which the Government which majored on Dáil reform, political reform and so forth has ordered the business of the House in the past short period is incomprehensible and does not make sense. It is all about trying to rush through measures without proper scrutiny - that is the crucial point. It is not that we want to prolong or have an artificial debate but that we want to...
- Order of Business (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: We will call a vote on this measure. The guillotine is being imposed on Committee and Report Stages of the Bill. We have to remember that this is the Government's second chance at this Bill. It is highly controversial, unpopular and unfair. Can I use the word "hames"?
- Order of Business (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: It made a complete hames of it and ignored everything that was said and every amendment. It did not accept one amendment from Sinn Féin. This time, it is doing the same thing. It is rushing the Bill through. It has been edifying that the debate we have had here has exposed some of the flaws in the Bill. The notion that one can get something wrong once, and then twice, is not the way...
- Order of Business (16 Dec 2014)
Gerry Adams: I refer to the terms of reference of the commission of investigation into the mother and baby homes. I understand from our spokesperson that the Minister for Justice and Equality is bringing them to completion, but she said in June that it was expected that they would be before the House prior to the summer recess. That did not happen. We need an opportunity to debate these serious issues....
