- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: It appears that the Government missed the deadline and failed to submit a nomination for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle, if that was its intention, although who am I to know? We are due an explanation. In the new dispensation heralded by the converts in the new Government we are being told we cannot hold the election for the position of Leas-Cheann Comhairle when it was designated to...
- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: I may have missed it, but did the Tánaiste respond on the issue of the election of the Leas-Cheann Comhairle?
- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Gabh mo leithscéal.
- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: I would like the Tánaiste to answer at least one question today. I have questions on the health information and patient safety Bill, the replacement for the mobility allowance scheme and the motorised transport grants and the Immigration, Residence and Protection Bill. The health information and patient safety Bill was part of what the previous Government claimed to be the cornerstone...
- Order of Business (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Why?
- An Teanga Gaeilge: Statements (18 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Caithfidh mé a rá ar dtús go n-aontaím leis na Teachtaí Byrne and Tóibín a bhí ag tabhairt amach faoin Aire, an Teachta Heather Humphreys, atá as láthair anseo gan leithscéal ar bith. I mbuiséad Shinn Féin anuraidh, chuireamar roinnt moltaí chun tosaigh ar chostas €10 milliún ar an iomlán a mbeadh tionchar...
- Report of Sub-Committee on Dáil Reform: Motion (Resumed) (19 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: I welcome the publication of this report. I commend the work of the Dáil reform sub-committee and thank all the members for their work, including the Sinn Féin representatives, Teachta Aengus Ó Snodaigh and Teachta Louise O'Reilly. I also want to thank the Ceann Comhairle for his stewardship of the sub-committee and its work over the past eight weeks. For the record, I agree...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: I also want to make the point that the grouping of these issues is not the way for us to get the maximum information on them. The Taoiseach will recall that I argued during the last Government that we should set aside dedicated time every month to deal with the North. We should not just be dealing with it in the middle of a crisis or when some other difficulty arises. I thought we had that...
- Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Did we get a supplementary question already?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: On Brexit, Sinn Féin will be campaigning in the North for the North to stay within the European Union, but we are very critical of the European Union. There is a very definite and severe democratic deficit and we want to see a social European Union as opposed to the two-tier conglomeration that is in place at this time. Coming back to the issue of the North, the Unionists will only...
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Last week during Leader's Questions the Tánaiste told the Dáil that a statement from the Garda Commissioner Nóirín O'Sullivan would be forthcoming to clarify matters arising from the O'Higgins commission. Thus far there has been no clarification from the Garda Commissioner or the Minister. In my questions to the Tánaiste I made the case that the Minister for Justice...
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Yes. I will ask the Taoiseach the same questions I asked the Tánaiste. Has he spoken to the Garda Commissioner? Could the Taoiseach explain to the Dáil what instructions the Garda Commissioner gave to her legal team about Sergeant McCabe? Would the Taoiseach tell the Dáil whether two senior officers claimed that Sergeant McCabe had admitted to them that he acted with malice?
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach's answer is not good enough. These are genuine questions put in a very straightforward way. That he or the Minister for Justice and Equality has not spoken to the Garda Commissioner since these issues first came into the public realm is not the right way to do business, and he refuses to treat the Dáil with the respect it deserves by refusing to answer straightforward...
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach was then alerted to the tapping of telephone calls in and out of Garda stations. After telling the Dáil there was nothing to see, he acted in an entirely unorthodox way, and the Taoiseach will recall I said that at the time. Let us not forget that the most important people in all of this are the victims of the crimes that were not properly investigated. Therefore, I...
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: It was not evidence; it is her instructions to her brief.
- Leaders' Questions (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: What has happened, Taoiseach? Tell us what just happened.
- Order of Business (24 May 2016)
Gerry Adams: Tá dhá cheist agam, ceann amháin faoi sheirbhísí sláinte i gclár an Rialtais agus ceann eile faoi bhean óg darb ainm Grace. Grace, as the Taoiseach will recollect, was the young woman with intellectual disabilities who remained in a foster home at the centre of abuse allegations. We are waiting for terms of reference for the commission of...
