Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Does the Taoiseach accept that the debt crisis in Greece is about EU elites trying to force the Government of Greece into accepting an outcome that contravenes its electoral mandate? They want to Greek Government to do what Fine Gael and the Labour Party did. They tore up their mandate, reneged on their election promises and undermined the people's right to assert democratic control over...

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: This is the major question facing all EU citizens, including Irish citizens. Do citizens have the right to assert democratic control over decisions that affect our lives? The Taoiseach clearly does not believe so. This is at the heart of the crisis in Greece and is also a major issue here. This is why it does not suit the Taoiseach to have a government in Greece that proposes alternatives...

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Minister for Health, Deputy Varadkar has admitted the health service needs another €1 billion just to meet existing demand. Will the Taoiseach supply this? Of course he will not. However, he will impose the repayment of €181 billion in debt created by his friends in the golden circle and the greed of the elites at the expense of Irish people for generations to come. The...

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Will the Taoiseach accept that this is the price he is forcing our people to pay, and expects the people of Greece to pay, because he kowtows to a right-wing ideology and is, shamefully, uncritical and subservient to Brussels?

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: I asked whether citizens had the right to assert democratic control over decisions which affect our lives, and the Taoiseach dodged the question and gave us his usual Rambles in Éirinn type of non-answer. The Greek Government is negotiating, but how would the Taoiseach know? They are doing something he never did, namely, trying to negotiate on behalf of the people who gave them a mandate.

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: I have, as the Taoiseach noted, some experience of negotiation.

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Let us try to get to the bottom of why the Taoiseach holds to his position. The decades of corruption and economic mismanagement of Greece are the disastrous legacy of successive Governments with which the Taoiseach's Government has been closely associated.

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Government which the Greek people rejected was led by New Democracy, which is a sister party of Fine Gael in the European Parliament.

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: The other component of that coalition Government was Pasok, the party which implemented the original Greek bailout and a sister party of the Irish Labour Party. The two governing parties in this State are inexplicably linked to the parties in power in Greece when the problems in its economy were created as a result of corruption and a lack of regulation. Does that not sound familiar?

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Did Fine Gael or Labour Party Members ever speak to their Greek counterparts about the disastrous policies which crashed the Greek economy? If they have not done so, is it not the case that the Taoiseach's current posturing on the new Greek Government, which has already started to implement a programme of genuine and widespread reform of the Greek economy, amounts to rank hypocrisy? Will...

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: It is more than that.

Leaders' Questions (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: I would call that untrue.

Order of Business (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: No, it is not agreed to. I object to the rescheduling of Private Members' business which clearly is being done by the Government to facilitate the railroading through of contentious legislation before the Dáil goes into recess. The Private Members' motion is about cuts to lone parent payments, yet the Government is moving the debate to prioritise even more austerity measures for...

Order of Business (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Yes, it does.

Order of Business (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: Tá ceist agam faoi the Thirty-fourth Amendment of the Constitution (Marriage Equality) Bill agus ceann eile faoi the Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill. I will deal with that ar dtús. The Civil Debt (Procedures) Bill is up for debate tomorrow. It will allow creditors, including Irish Water, to apply for a court order that enables the attachment of earnings or deductions from social...

Order of Business (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Taoiseach for his answer but wish to reiterate the point that Teachta Mac Lochlainn was making. I said in my remarks that we respect absolutely and uphold the right of citizens to go to the courts. We are not seeking to interfere with the court system or interfere in any way with the separation of powers between the Judiciary and the Oireachtas but there seems to be an...

European Council Meeting: Statements (1 Jul 2015)

Gerry Adams: I again express my sincere condolences, and those of Sinn Féin, to the families of Larry and Martina Hayes, and of Lorna Carty, the three Irish citizens brutally killed in an indiscriminate attack on tourists in Tunisia, which I utterly condemn. I extend condolences to all those, from whatever part of the world they come, who were killed in these attacks, as well as the victims of the...
