Topical Issue Debate: Northern Ireland (14 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: All victims and their families and communities deserve truth and justice. That includes the families of those killed in Loughinisland. The British Government and its agencies armed, directed and then covered up the killings at Loughinisland. That is a fact and there can be no dispute about that. Over the years, I have met many families of victims of the conflict. They include victims...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: I welcomed the Taoiseach's visit last night to Dublin’s north inner city where he met with some of the community and listened to what they had to say. I hope he understands that this was just the first chapter in the consultation that needs to happen between the Government and the people there. He says that those who spoke at the meeting were inspirational and he is right. They are....

Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: The North Wall Community Association's chairperson, Gerry Fay, has said that three decades of neglect have created social apartheid for people in his community. He spoke of a litany of broken promises over the last 30 years. Results count. Ní seasaíonn mála folamh. I want the Taoiseach to commit today to a long-term, resourced and integrated strategy to address poverty,...

Leaders' Questions (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach takes exception to what I said but then goes on to say there is "certainly a feeling of a divide" between the people living in the area and those who take decisions. There is a feeling? It is the reality. Poverty is not an accident. Inequality is not an accident. It took brutal murders committed by criminal gangs to get the Taoiseach to acknowledge the inequalities faced by...

Order of Business (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: Greyhound’s standing charge has also been increased. Citizens and households have to sign up for a 12-month contract and these new measures kick in on 1 July. There is an urgency about this. It will inevitably lead to an increase in illegal dumping, a point the Taoiseach would acknowledge. Has the Government considered urgent action such as exemptions for households, especially...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Seanad Reform (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: I am sure the Taoiseach will agree that the issue of Seanad reform has not been tackled and that it has been on the political agenda for as long as the Seanad has existed. There have been 12 reports on Seanad reform and following the McNulty debacle, as the Taoiseach outlined, the Seanad reform working group was established by him, but its report has not been acted on. We did not even get...

Ceisteanna - Questions: International Terrorism (15 Jun 2016)

We have seen recently, as the Taoiseach and the Leader of Fianna Fáil noted, ISIS attacks in France and Belgium. In recent days, we have had further attacks...
