- Order of Business (18 Nov 2015)

- Order of Business (18 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Ceann Comhairle has interrupted me a number of times. The fact is the British Government failed to honour its commitments under the original Stormont House agreement. That is a matter we need to ventilate and discuss here. I ask the Taoiseach if he will set time aside next week to debate the North following yesterday's agreement?

- Written Answers — Department of Health: Hospital Accommodation Provision (19 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: 181. To ask the Minister for Health if he is aware of the case of a patient (details supplied) in the National Rehabilitation Hospital in County Dublin who is due to be discharged to a nursing home on 16 December 2015; the treatment plan that is in place for this person; and if, due to injuries, the person will be retained in the hospital, where the appropriate staff and facilities are to...
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach is critical of the nurses' decision to strike. He claims it will not solve the problems in accident and emergency units, but what are the nurses to do? We have had a series of shocking revelations, such as the one that is cited ad nauseamof a man in his 90s being forced to spend 29 hours on a trolley. These are the front-line conditions in which nurses are working. They are...

Gerry Adams: The president of the Irish Hospital Consultants Association, Dr. Gerard Crotty, has stated that the cause of accident and emergency overcrowding is a lack of capacity because not enough money has been allocated.

- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: Is this all a pretence? Are people making this up? Is there not a crisis in our accident and emergency departments? Is there not a crisis of patients on trolleys? The Taoiseach referred to weird economics, but what sort of economics puts money in the pockets of the elites but not into public services? Riddle me that. It is nightmare economics of the Fine Gael-Labour kind. Last week in...
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: The Government has no commitment to a public health service. The Minister, Deputy Varadkar, if he would just be ciúin for a moment, should explain to the Taoiseach why he stated that hospital groups should be able to conduct business in the manner of semi-State companies outside the constraints of public service rules.
- Leaders' Questions (24 Nov 2015)
Gerry Adams: He has made it clear that the CEOs of hospital groups should be allowed to transfer the management of hospitals to private providers. Where is the commitment? This is all about the privatisation of what should be a citizen's entitlement. This is an insight into the Government and how and why it presides. One must ask the question of why this is so and why we are in this difficulty. Why...
