Ceisteanna - Questions: Taoiseach's Meetings and Engagements (15 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: That would be a welcome development. I understand the structured dialogue process did not happen because of other developments since the election. We need tolerance and a pluralist society. Increasingly, I am of the view that we need a secular society. We need to tackle the issue of sectarianism on this island, particularly but not exclusively in the North. Still a deep-rooted...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: Many people are only just waking up to the reality that the Taoiseach is back in office despite the result of the general election. This latest debacle over bin charges has been a wake-up call for many. It is also a very stark demonstration of the shallowness of the so-called new politics. The reality is that many households cannot afford these bin charges. There is nothing new,...

Leaders' Questions (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: With all due respect, that was a rubbish answer. I asked the Taoiseach a straightforward question as to whether he would make a commitment that new regulations or legislation - in other words, a statutory instrument - to deal with this debacle would be introduced this week and he ignored that question. The fact is that households cannot afford these additional charges. A working couple...

Death of Jo Cox, MP: Expressions of Sympathy (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: Ba mhaith liom mo chomhbhrón a dhéanamh le fear chéile Jo Cox, Brendan, agus lena bpáistí, Lejla agus Cuillin. Bean óg cróga macánta ab ea Jo. Tá muid go léir brónach ón uair a chuala muid an scéal dona faoina dúnmharú. I also extend on my behalf and that of Sinn Féin sincerest sympathy and solidarity to...

Order of Business (Resumed) (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: In the programme for Government there are commitments on dealing with suicide prevention and mental health, and I wish to raise a number of very important issues around this. One is a project called WALK PEER, which serves mostly young people who have disabilities and trains them so that they can increase their skills and go forward, if possible, into jobs. The funding for this project has...

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: 2. To ask the Taoiseach his plans for visits to Britain. [16858/16]

Ceisteanna - Questions: UK Referendum on EU Membership (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: I agree with the Taoiseach that the issue of how people in Britain vote in the Brexit referendum is a matter for voters there but unfortunately, aside from all the other implications, it is a vote which will have a direct impact on the people in the North. Most opinion polls suggest that the vote to leave the EU remains very strong and that the two sides are almost evenly split. I spent...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: 6. To ask the Taoiseach to report on his visit to Belfast. [16859/16]

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: I welcome very much the Taoiseach's visit to Belfast. It is really important that the Taoiseach and other Ministers visit the North often and regularly and that they meet people in all the sectors. During the Belfast visit, the Taoiseach went to the new Belfast office of CPL Recruitment and spoke to business leaders, among others, about the importance of encouraging economic growth on both...

Ceisteanna - Questions: Northern Ireland (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: The British-Irish Council is an integral part of the Good Friday Agreement architecture and it provides an opportunity for the eight administrations that participate to discuss issues of mutual importance and of relevance to the regions and states that make up its membership. I want to come back on the issue that was raised earlier regarding carers. The social inclusion sector of the...

Pre-European Council: Statements (21 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: Yes. On Thursday, a crucial vote will take place on whether the North and Britain will remain in or leave the European Union. A vote to leave, a so-called Brexit, would have big implications for the island of Ireland and for our two economies. It would lead to the reintroduction of some form of border and customs controls. Partition creates enough problems already without the need for the...

Leaders' Questions (22 Jun 2016)

Gerry Adams: There is not a single family across this island that has not been affected by the challenge of mental health issues. It is now accepted that one in seven adults will experience mental health challenges in any given year and that the real figures for suicide across the island of Ireland are as high as 1,000 people annually. I want to ask the Tánaiste about the Mental Health Commission's...
