EU Affairs (27 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: This is a fundamental question concerning sovereignty. One reason the Economic Management Council has nothing to discuss is because it has ceded so much economic power to the European Union and International Monetary Fund. It is very clear that the Government is standing with the bankers. Has it taken the opportunity, given what is happening in the eurozone and the crisis, to tell the...

EU Affairs (27 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: We know what the question is; the answer is another thing.

Order of Business (27 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: We have called for a debate on the euro crisis for the past two weeks. I raised this with the Taoiseach two weeks ago and he promised me a debate. He referred me to the my party Whip. Deputy Ó Snodaigh raised it at the Whips' meeting. Deputy McDonald then raised it in the House last week. We have ended up bringing the Government kicking and squealing to the House to have this debate....

Order of Business (27 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: Deputy Boyd Barrett is not a member of Sinn Féin and Deputy McDonald is not the party Whip. This was raised by our party Whip with the Government Chief Whip.

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: I was astonished yesterday when, in response to a question from me, the Taoiseach announced that the Cabinet sub-committee on health has not met. That sub-committee was announced by the Taoiseach in June at the height of the controversy over his decision to close Roscommon hospital's accident and emergency unit in complete breach of commitments made both by the Labour Party and Fine Gael,...

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach has just recited a litany of failure. This health sub-committee which he established has not even met. He expresses concern and I accept him at face value but he needs to go beyond the rhetoric in this regard. He says these issues need to be discussed but where will they be discussed? We have only this short time of one minute and a half in which to raise these issues. All...

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: Would this money not be better paid into the failing health services-----

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: These are deadly serious issues when a Government admits that almost 400 citizens are in corridors on trolleys and some of them, no doubt, on chairs or on floors. It beggars belief that there is heckling and hectoring over such a serious issue.

Leaders' Questions (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: This is all a result of choices being made by the Government. These decisions are being made by the Government over which the Taoiseach presides not by the people who came before him. Would it not be better to call a halt to these bad policies and to invest in our health services and in citizens, as opposed to bondholders and toxic banks?

Order of Business (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: Tá ceist agam ar reachtaíocht atá geallta maidir leis an bpróiséas chun daoine a ainmniú do thoghchán na huachtaránachta. Tá a fhios ag an Taoiseach nach bhfuil an próiséas go maith. Feicimid na hiarrthóirí ar an teilifís agus cloisimid iad ar an raidio ag rith ar fud an Stáit ag lorg votaí. My question is around political reform and, predictably, the archaic system for...

Order of Business (28 Sep 2011)

Gerry Adams: I am sure the Taoiseach agrees they are all appropriate candidates, but does the Government have any plans to bring forward legislation on the issue?

Taxi Licences (29 Sep 2011)

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: Nuair a tháinig an Taoiseach isteach in oifig, labhair sé faoin ghá ceannasaíocht a léiriú agus chuir sé pay cap ar special advisers. Mar is gnách, áfach, bhris sé an gealltanas sin díreach ar an nós céanna le gealltanais eile. It is disgraceful that nearly €300,000 of taxpayers' money is being spent on employing constituency workers in his office. On taking office, he spoke...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: I have the absolute details and it sounded a little like the five sorrowful mysteries. Deputy Kenny was not Taoiseach in 2009. He put a cap of €92,000 on the pay of special advisers. Two of his special advisers are earning €168,000. I asked him to explain how he had circumvented this cap. Last week I asked him if he would give a commitment not to break the pay cap for the next CEO of...

Leaders' Questions (4 Oct 2011)

Inter-Faith Dialogue (4 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: Question 1: To ask the Taoiseach the steps he has taken to continue the dialogue with churches and other faith communities begun by his predecessors; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [23768/11]

Inter-Faith Dialogue (4 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom fáilte a chur roimh an díospóireacht seo. Tá sé an-thábhachtach. Ar ardaigh an Taoiseach ceist an Bethany Home le hEaglais na hÉireann? Did the Taoiseach raise the issue of Bethany Home with the Church of Ireland? Does the Government plan to revisit the existing redress scheme for survivors of abuse while in State institutions or other institutions run by religious...

Inter-Faith Dialogue (4 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: Could the Taoiseach provide clarity? The Government has ruled out thus far including the survivors of Bethany Home. I would like to see the Government including it, but thus far the Government has not. Could the Taoiseach give a reason they are not included?
