Leaders' Questions (28 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach when the Minister, Deputy Noonan, informed him about his Department's deep concerns with the Siteserv sale and other IBRC deals. Last week the Taoiseach stated that he did not know anything about this. Today, if I understand him properly, he is telling us the matter was brought to his attention and to the attention of the Cabinet. That begs the next question: what did...

Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday, when I asked the Taoiseach when the Minister, Deputy Noonan, informed the Taoiseach about his Department's deep concerns over the sale of Siteserv and the other IBRC deals, he did not answer the question directly, but he gave the impression that the Minister did not brief him on these issues. How could that be when this involved hundreds of millions of euro of taxpayers' money and...

Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2015)

Gerry Adams: The problem is that I asked the Taoiseach a number of direct questions about his knowledge at different times as this scandal unravelled, but he never answered even one question. He said - I noted this - that it was not compulsory for the Minister to be informed by his officials. However, it is a matter of record that he was informed by his officials and for three years, the serious...

Leaders' Questions (29 Apr 2015)

Leaders' Questions (6 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: I do not know whether the Labour Party has taken up an abstentionist policy on Leaders' Questions, or perhaps its members are embarrassed. The sorry saga of the Taoiseach's efforts to impose an additional water tax on households and his establishment of the now totally discredited Irish Water is a metaphor for how this Government functions, or indeed does not function. There was no need to...

Leaders' Questions (6 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's compliance regime, as he christens it, will penalise ordinary hard-working families, pensioners and vulnerable citizens, who have already borne the brunt of the Government's austerity policies.
