- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: I, too, would ask the Taoiseach to reconsider the disgraceful decision to cut €30 million from the programme for arts, culture and film. We should not be surprised that the Cabinet sub-committee has only met once. That reflects the Government's historical attitude to the areas of arts, heritage, the Irish language, Gaeltacht affairs and so on. The capital would have been a good...

- Ceisteanna - Questions: Cabinet Committee Meetings (18 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: I know the Taoiseach is limited in what he can say on these matters. I wonder what consideration has been given to the crisis in health and the ongoing issues in that regard. Approximately €14.7 billion in real terms is being put into health. This clearly cannot sustain the hospitals or the clinics. I would like to look at the issue of mental health, in particular. It has been...

- Leaders' Questions (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: On Sunday, Dr. Fergal Hickey, an emergency consultant at Sligo University Hospital, stated that up to 350 patients are dying each year as a result of hospital overcrowding and that delays in securing intensive care beds for patients are increasing the risk of patient mortality. As winter approaches, the number of patients on emergency department trolleys is increasing once again. I do not...
- Leaders' Questions (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach states he does not intend going back to the drawing board, which is unacceptable. What are the 350 patients dying each year because of overcrowding to do? Are they to just die? What about the 4,000 patients who have two part-time consultants and two nurses? Do they just have to put up with it? Is that the way it is?
- Leaders' Questions (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: The Taoiseach cannot pretend that an expenditure of €147 million will solve the crisis in our health service. These words are not coming from me but from the people working in the services, including in one case - and by the Taoiseach's own acknowledgement - a very learned person. The consultants running the health service say they are dealing with an unsustainable burden caused by...
- Questions on Proposed Legislation (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: May I say, almost in passing, that it is rather strange that the Fianna Fáil leader supports the budget and then laments the very things he has supported.
- Questions on Proposed Legislation (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: The programme for Government states that the Government will "offer safe haven for refugees under EU and UN resettlement and relocation programmes, while promoting the integration of refugees in our communities". The crisis was brought home to us not just on our television screens but in the news yesterday that five people, including a child, were found inside a container in County Wexford....
- Questions on Proposed Legislation (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: Críochnóidh mé anois, a Cheann Comhairle. Fewer than 1,000 have been resettled. Will the Taoiseach indicate when he expects the 4,000 target to be reached, and has the Government discussed how the process of resettlement can be speeded up and whether additional numbers will be taken in the light of the worsening conflict in Syria?
- Ceisteanna - Questions: Departmental Bodies (19 Oct 2016)
Gerry Adams: The creation of this task force was a proposal from Deputy McDonald. When she put the proposal, she was very specific and clued in about the need to involve the local community because the local community is central to this. The job of politicians should be to empower citizens. The weakness in the Government's approach is that the task force is a ministerial one. Those who live and work...
