Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: I compliment the Government on what was a classic case of media management yesterday.

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach refused to answer questions put to him on a range of vital issues about jobs and outsourcing, compulsory redundancies and the so-called commitment made, which will only last seven years. What will happen then? It will be a case of sin é. While the Taoiseach was refusing to answer any of those questions, at the same time, the media were being briefed. Then we had the...

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: It is true that the Government is finishing the work begun by Fianna Fáil, but that is another issue entirely. What always strikes me is the huge arrogance of the Government in its refusal to have a debate on these issues. Will the Chief Whip explain when we will receive the documentation and when we will see the details? Some 15,000 deferred pensioners were robbed by the Government....

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Will the Chief Whip, please, have the manners to respond to the questions being put to him? When will all of the documentation be put before the Members of the House?

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: I asked the Whip and Taoiseach yesterday when the documentation would be published. That is a reasonable question. The Whip refused to answer the question. The committee on transport and communications, including members of the Labour Party and Fine Gael, agreed and asked that this issue be brought back to the committee. The Leas-Cheann Comhairle can see the contempt that the Government...

Gerry Adams: A Leas-Cheann Comhairle----

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: My question is very straightforward. I asked it of the Taoiseach yesterday, but he ignored it. I asked it three times today of the Whip and he, too, ignored it. When will the documentation on this issue be supplied to Deputies in this Chamber? Second, the transport committee, including the sheep from the Labour Party and Fine Gael, asked that this decision be referred to it to be debated.

Business of Dáil: Motion (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: How are we going to have a proper debate if the transport committee is ignored and we are not given an answer to the question as to when documentation which has been supplied to the media in a spinning way will be supplied to the elected representatives in this Chamber?

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has just acknowledged that he refused to answer questions here in the Dáil during Leaders' Questions and subsequently on this sell-off of Aer Lingus. However, what he did not admit was that at the same time he was briefing the media and Government Deputies about the machinations between the Government and IAG. The Taoiseach has also withheld documentation from the...

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: However, according to the Minister, Deputy Donohoe, Mr. Kavanagh has also indicated that he "does not foresee a likelihood of either compulsory redundancies or non-direct employment under IAG ownership". Are the phrases "does not foresee" or "a likelihood" a legally binding guarantee? If this is a guarantee, then clearly neither the Taoiseach nor the Minister for Transport, Tourism and...

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Same as the banks.

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Yesterday I asked the Taoiseach if he would publish all of the documentation on this issue, but he has not done that. I checked for it in the Oireachtas Library earlier, but all we got was a statement and one or two records of committee meetings. We did not get the actual documentation that is the spine of this sell-off. It is also clear that the Taoiseach's backbenchers and Labour...

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Fine Gael and Labour Party Members on the Joint Committee on Transport and Communications agreed with the request for this issue to be returned to the committee, but they then capitulated on this issue when the Government ignored the committee. Leaving that aside, what about the Aer Lingus workers who have been given no certainty in regard to compulsory redundancies or outsourcing? I...

Leaders' Questions (27 May 2015)

Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach confirm, in contrast with the Aer Lingus workers and the deferred pensioners, that current and former bosses at the airline will benefit by millions of euro from any sell-off? Could he give us a figure for the amount they will be paid in bonuses and in backhanders or will we have to leave it, as we did with Irish Water-----
