Leaders' Questions (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: That is not acceptable. The Taoiseach has said he does not go around making comments when the Government has yet to make up its mind, but this is Leaders' Questions and he is being asked what his view is on this issue. A decision may be taken later this evening, which means that the Dáil will hear of the decision made through the media. What we have been hearing all day, in what are...

Leaders' Questions (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Taoiseach if the issues of compulsory redundancies or outsourcing were discussed at today's meeting, but he did not answer me. He comes out with the mantra that whatever decision the Government takes, it will be in the best interests of the country. That is the same excuse he used for giving billions of taxpayers' money to the bankers, for running down the health services and...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Cabinet Committee Meetings (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: I want to concentrate on the issue of people on trolleys. The Irish Nurses and Midwives Organisation, INMO, has revealed that between January and April, there were 35,135 occurrences of people on trolleys, an increase of 26% on the same period last year. It is the worst figure since the INMO started to keep these records. We could deal with the huge scandals, patient safety issues and the...

Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Irish Language (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Tá fios ag an Taoiseach go bhfuil an Ghaeltacht faoi níos mó bhrú ná mar a bhí riamh agus tá géarchéim ann sa Ghaeltacht agus i bpobal na Gaeltachta mar gheall ar an Rialtas seo agus Rialtais eile agus a mbeartais laige.

Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has said the marriage Bill will be ready or enacted before the summer recess, which means that it will be taken before the end of July. That is a very tight timescale. We all celebrate very much the compassionate decision taken in the referendum in favour of equality and inclusivity, but will the Taoiseach give a complete assurance that the Bill will be published before the...

Order of Business (26 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: What I am putting to the Taoiseach is that there are major pressures on the institutions in the North. This is not solely about the threatened cuts to welfare payments but also about the Tory Government's planned cuts to budgets. The Taoiseach is equal co-guarantor of the Good Friday Agreement. Has the Government raised these issues or concerns with the British Government? Will the...
