Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)

Gerry Adams: Just for the record, there are serious claims of wrongdoing by NAMA. I have written to the Taoiseach and the Minister for Finance about this matter. I have yet to receive a satisfactory reply. I want to raise another issue here this morning. I have sent notice of this matter to the Taoiseach because it is very serious. On 26 August last, the two back wheels of an ambulance coming from...

Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)

Gerry Adams: I have to say I am very disappointed with the Taoiseach's answer. It is of interest to the nation that the wheel came off his car one time, but that has nothing to do with the question I raised. The independent assessment - I have it - says very clearly that there is a weakness in the design. The independent assessor has pinpointed that in this particular model of ambulance there is a...

Leaders' Questions (23 Sep 2015)

Gerry Adams: This is most crucially felt in rural Ireland. Even the fact that a patient has to be transported from Donegal to Galway illustrates the deficiencies in the Government's health policy. The questions are quite specific and I am not trying to score political points in terms of the particular report that has been made by the independent assessor.

Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2015)

Gerry Adams: For most of the lifetime of this Dáil, Sinn Féin has been raising concerns about the sale of NAMA's loan books, including its Northern loan book. There is now a growing scandal around the revelations that an illegal £15 million fixer's fee was to be paid as part of the sell-off of this Northern loan book. As the Tánaiste may be aware, this matter was brought to NAMA's...

Leaders' Questions (24 Sep 2015)

Gerry Adams: The Tánaiste stated that this is a Northern tale. She stated that it was being dealt with by a committee of the Assembly. She then conceded that the Government is not co-operating with the Northern Assembly committee - that NAMA has refused to appear before it, as has the Minister.
