- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: What we need to discuss today is why the HSE and the Department of Health have not acted on recommendations made by regulatory bodies such as HIQA. The tragic death of a baby in Cavan General Hospital raises further concerns about maternity services but I do not want to make any judgment about this tragedy because I do not know what happened. I extend my sympathy to the parents of the...
- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: I hope the steps the Minister is taking regarding Portlaoise hospital are adequate and I wish him well. However, the Taoiseach has avoided my question.
- Leaders' Questions (13 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Portlaoise report was not the first time we heard about these issues. My question was why the recommendations were not acted on.

- Order of Business (13 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: Whatever about Fianna Fáil's slightly abstentionist approach to this issue, there are deep underlying problems in getting a legislative programme through the House and having Opposition Deputies dealt with in accordance with their mandates and the respect due to everyone in the Chamber. That includes the issues we invariably raise on the Order of Business which are related to...
- Order of Business (13 May 2015)
Gerry Adams: During Taoiseach's questions, we deal with issues and events five months after they had occurred. Yesterday we had 81 questions to the Taoiseach which were taken together. In the spirit of trying to work with the Government and other parties we must look at how our business is conducted. It is not good enough for the Taoiseach to come into the House and unilaterally make an announcement on...
