Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Development (20 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: Tá mé buíoch don Cheann Comhairle mar thug sé an seans dom ceist a chur faoin obair thábhachtach seo. Tá a lán daoine i nDún Dealgan, go háirithe lucht oibre eBay agus PayPal agus a dteaghlaigh, buartha faoi na ráflaí faoi jabanna sa dhá háit seo. Más féidir leis an Aire a bheith soiléir faoi seo, bheadh a...

Topical Issue Debate: Industrial Development (20 Jul 2016)

Gerry Adams: I thank the Minister for her answer and note her statement that she wishes to ensure that eBay stays in Ireland. I do not think that is an issue. There is no question of its moving. Dundalk is an area of considerable disadvantage but it has a very innovative and skilled workforce and lots of local leaders from the Institute of Technology, the economic forum, the local chambers and Louth...

Business of Dáil (7 Sep 2016)

Gerry Adams: It is not agreed. I ask the Taoiseach to allow time today or tomorrow to discuss the revelations in last night's BBC "Spotlight" programme about allegations of illegality within NAMA in the context of the sale of the Northern loan book. Many of us have consistently raised this issue in the Dáil. There seems to be credibility in respect of what we have been asserting. We have asked...

Gerry Adams: Táim buíoch as an deis labhairt ar an rún agus ar na leasuithe tábhachtacha atá os comhair na Dála inniu agus mo thacaíocht a thabhairt do leasú Uimh. 1 in ainmneacha Theachtaí Shinn Féin.

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Gerry Adams: That has been our consistent position. Tax revenues are the means by which public services are funded, by which we pay for social protections, which the Labour Party abandoned decades ago, and from which infrastructure is developed. In Sinn Féin’s view, the record of successive Governments on investing citizens’ taxes to build a fair society is shamefully disastrous, but...

Government Appeal of European Commission Decision on State Aid to Apple: Motion (7 Sep 2016)

Gerry Adams: Some 3 million children die every year from malnutrition and hunger and many more from preventable diseases.

The leader of the Labour Party asks in one of his muted undertones, "Should we solve all that?" We should solve all that. It is our responsibility. The...
