This legislation would be very significant given the history of symphysiotomy, the anti-D blood scandal, the victims of...

- Topical Issue Debate: Inquiry into the Death of Mr. Pat Finucane (12 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I am disappointed with the Minister's answer. Have we raised this at the UN? Have we raised this at the EU? Have we asked our ambassadors to lobby on this internationally? Have we raised this with the Obama Administration in the White House? This is what Governments are supposed to do. They are supposed to use diplomatic services to uphold the rights of citizens. The Minister should...

That is the price people are paying for his policies....
- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: I did receive a letter from the Minister for understatement in answer to an Order of Business query. It only arrived into my office this afternon, so I have not been able to give it the type of consideration it requires. However, what did HIQA say in 2012 about this issue of what the Taoiseach calls "trolley waits"? It recommended that "[e]very hospital should cease the use of any...

- Leaders' Questions (17 Feb 2015)
Gerry Adams: This is Alice in Wonderland, or Leo in Enda-land, where words mean what the Government wants them to mean.
