Leaders' Questions (22 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday, in response to demands for the Taoiseach to initiate an independent inquiry into the sale of Siteserv to a company controlled by Denis O'Brien, he stated he had not been briefed on the issue. He stated he would find answers to these questions. I wish to give the Taoiseach an opportunity today to give these answers. I will outline what we know. We know Siteserv was sold off for...

Leaders' Questions (22 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: It is not often I feel I can advise the Taoiseach, but he is handling this in exactly the same way as he handled other issues, dragging it out and drip feeding it bit by bit. I asked three simple questions. Why was the recommendation for Alan Dukes to initiate a fully independent review not acted on? The Taoiseach did not answer the question. What were the other transactions of over...

Leaders' Questions (22 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: Siteserv, via GMC-Sierra, emerged as one of the contractors for water meters for the flagship enterprise Irish Water.

Order of Business (22 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: While I do not want to repeat the questions I asked during Leaders' Questions, what the Taoiseach proposes is inadequate. However, I will ask three questions on the Order of Business. The criminal justice (spent convictions) Bill is a step in the right direction, because it allows for sentences of 12 months or less for certain types of offences to be considered spent. It has passed...

Order of Business (22 Apr 2015)

At the weekend, we learned that cancer survival rates...

Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach appears to insist on proceeding with a review into the IBRC scandal in which nobody has any faith. The review is simply an extension of the Government's cover-up of this scandal. When Deputy Pearse Doherty raised questions in 2012 on the handling of IBRC's sale of Siteserv, he was stonewalled by the Minister for Finance. At the same time, officials from the Department of...

Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: Citizens see the contrast between the Government's attitude to the banks and the political and business insiders of the golden circle, and its treatment of ordinary citizens. Citizens are appalled by the massive write-downs that IBRC has given to private companies. The Taoiseach has no problem with these write-downs but he ensures there are no write-downs for mortgage holders by giving a...
