Gerry Adams: I did not hear what the Taoiseach said.
- Order of Business (28 Jan 2015)
Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach whether Deputy Shatter or anyone acting on his behalf had been in touch with the Taoiseach's Department, the Ceann Comhairle or anyone else in the Oireachtas, but he did not answer. I had to ask the question again before he conceded and he has not told us the content of the letter. This is the stuff that the Government is not good at. This is where they make a mess of...
- Order of Business (28 Jan 2015)
Gerry Adams: I also asked if the Taoiseach had consulted or sought an opinion from the Attorney General. Do we have the legal advice that the Ceann Comhairle was given? I am appealing for it again. The Taoiseach can go ahead with this vote, lining up all the backbenchers to fill the lobbies and it will go through without a doubt, but he should not do that. He should reorder it for tomorrow or next...

Gerry Adams: 116. To ask the Minister for Justice and Equality that services provided at Garda stations in Dunleer and Clogherhead, County Louth will be maintained at their current level; and that there will be no reduction in the numbers of Garda personnel, opening hours or services provided at each Garda station. [4233/15]
- Personal Explanation by Ceann Comhairle (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I also welcome the Ceann Comhairle's statement, particularly the acknowledgement that his remarks on the radio were inappropriate. I want to deal with other issues, but I will do that later. Now that the Ceann Comhairle has, in a genuine way, withdrawn his remarks, may I ask that those Ministers who defended the Ceann Comhairle's remarks also withdraw their remarks.
- Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: It is important that the Taoiseach reminded us of the events around the whistleblowers' allegations and the way the Government had responded to them. It pooh-poohed, dismissed and slandered an Teachta Dála Mick Wallace for raising these issues. Without taking up too much time, we know the chronology that led to the retirement of a Garda Commissioner - the Taoiseach's words - and the...
- Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: -----between the Taoiseach and Deputy Alan Shatter. I asked the Taoiseach at least twice formally if he had received any correspondence from Deputy Alan Shatter, if his Department had received any, if the Ceann Comhairle had received any or if any other agency had received any, but he refused to answer. He only answered eventually when pressed. Now we hear about all of this correspondence....
- Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach could have met the leaders and outlined the problem as it was seen. He could have allowed for the discussion to take place and explained the letters. He then made a virtue of necessity and is now going to publish the letters as if it was a mighty act of kindness on his part. That discussion could have been held in private with the leaders of the various groups in the...
- Leaders' Questions (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Ceann Comhairle has very graciously acknowledged that there could be another interpretation of Standing Order 57(3). He said he was going to summon the Committee on Procedure and Privileges, which is what the Sinn Féin Whip, Deputy Aengus Ó Snodaigh, proposed should happen. He did so in writing to the best of my recollection. To hide behind the Ceann Comhairle in light of his...

- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Social Partnership Meetings (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: Ar dtús, ba mhaith liom comhghairdeas a ghabháil le Patricia King faoina ceapachán mar ard-rúnaí ICTU. Táim ag súil le bualadh le Patricia agus an cairdeas idir Shinn Féin agus an ICTU a fhorbairt. I wish Patricia King well on her recent appointment as ICTU ard-rúnaí. The Taoiseach has outlined the way he will engage with the social...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Social Partnership Meetings (3 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: Sometimes I think the Taoiseach and I live in different Irelands, although it could not be the case, given that this is such a small place. Although some are doing well and there may be an improvement, it is a fact that one third of children live in consistent poverty; this is not made up. The ESRI told us that the top earners would benefit the most from budget 2015, while the lowest income...
