- Hospital Emergency Departments: Motion [Private Members] (14 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Tá mé sásta bheith anseo inniu chun labhairt ar rún Shinn Féin maidir le sláinte agus an bealach níos fearr atá againn chun freastal ar achan duine. Tá mé buíoch den Teachta Ó Caoláin a chur an rún seo le chéile agus tá mé fíor-bhuíoch go bhfuil an tAire, an Teachta Varadkar, anseo. The emergency...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I have raised the issue of homelessness with the Taoiseach many times. Each time I have done so the Taoiseach has repeated the mantra that the Government is addressing this crisis and that it is a priority. That is patently untrue. In the first three quarters of 2015 only a grand total of 28 local authority homes was built, and none in my constituency at a time when children are spending...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I do not need the Taoiseach to do that.
- Leaders' Questions (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach knows as well as I do that politics is a matter of political choices. He made his choice for the first four years of his Government. Of course it did inherit a bad situation from Fianna Fáil and the Green Party but it did not build social and affordable housing. In 2015 family homelessness rose by 93%. It has doubled in one year on the Taoiseach’s watch. Those...

Gerry Adams: 2. To ask the Taoiseach if he will report on his meeting with the Prime Minister of India, Mr. Narendra Damodardas Modi; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [33922/15]
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Tá mé buíoch den Taoiseach fá choinne an fhreagra soiléire sin. As the Taoiseach acknowledged, Ireland and India have a long and shared history and many shared cultural values. We were both colonised and endured many centuries of struggle and India like Ireland was partitioned but, unfortunately, our island remains partitioned. We also share difficulties created by...
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Economic Management Council (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: 25. To ask the Taoiseach the role of the Economic Management Council in preparing the Government’s response to the plans of the British Prime Minister, Mr David Cameron, for a referendum on British membership of the European Union; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [44677/15]
- Ceisteanna - Questions (Resumed): Economic Management Council (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I understand the Taoiseach may be restricted in the details he can outline, but are there plans to minimise economic disruption in the event that a referendum in Britain results in a vote to leave? Obviously, because our two islands are in close proximity, a decision by Britain to leave the European Union is of considerable interest to us, a point the Taoiseach has outlined in the past....
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Go raibh maith agat, a Cheann Comhairle. Under the Order of Business I usually raise two or three commitments of promised legislation or programme for Government commitments. Today I just want to raise one issue but I want to do it in some detail because of the seriousness of the situation.
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: Yes, it is around a programme for Government commitment to deliver on principles of social inclusion for the Traveller community and a commitment by the Minister of State at the Department of Justice and Equality with responsibility for equality, Deputy Aodhán Ó Ríordáin, that Traveller ethnicity would be a reality. He rightly said this did not need legislation or a...
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I did try to get a Topical Issue matter on this issue.
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I also wish to raise the review of fire safety in Traveller accommodation that the Government published in December 2015 following the Carrickmines tragedy which said very clearly that nothing in the fire safety review process was intended to be used to address the broader Traveller accommodation issues in a negative way. Clearly this is not a green light to evict Travellers from halting...
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)
Gerry Adams: I ask the Taoiseach, in keeping with the commitments, if he will make a statement before the Dáil ends, as the Minister of State, Deputy Ó Ríordáin, promised, to recognise Travellers as an ethnic group. I ask that he request the Minister for the Environment, Community and Local Government stops the eviction of these citizens.
- Order of Business (19 Jan 2016)

Gerry Adams: 334. To ask the Minister for Health why the Health Service Executive in County Louth has decided not to allocate funding to early intervention, to the home teacher programme and to Down's syndrome Louth-Meath branch, deeming them not to meet funding criteria, yet it allocated funding in County Meath for the same services; and if he will make a statement on the matter.
