Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: Sular tháinig an Taoiseach in oifig, dúirt sé go raibh othair ag fáil báis ar liostaí feithimh do na hospidéil. Dúirt an Tánaiste ag an am céanna nach raibh an HSE ag obair. Bhí an ceart ag an Taoiseach agus ag an Tánaiste ag an am ach cad a tharla ó shin? Sin í an cheist mhór. On Monday, Councillor Imelda Munster and I went to the hospital in Drogheda. There were 53...

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: One of the problems with Leaders' Questions is that the Taoiseach ignores the question. He referred to the letter to HIQA. An Teachta Peadar Tóibín and I wrote that letter. It is our letter. We wrote to HIQA, asking for a full investigation, and to Lourdes-----

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2011)

Leaders' Questions (5 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: The crux of the current difficulty is the reconfiguration of services in the region and the failure to address the fair deal debacle created by the Minister for Health. The Taoiseach should intervene directly and open a vacant ward up the road in Dundalk to take in those patients who have been clinically discharged from the hospital in Drogheda. I ask him to respond to my proposals.

Order of Business. (5 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: I have a slightly sharper point to make. It is the mark of this Government not to have a full debate. We raised this issue of a debate on the euro crisis at least twice, perhaps three times, before the Taoiseach conceded it should be allowed. Given the news that came overnight about Italian bonds, does the Government's original budget target of €3.6 billion to be taken out of the economy...

Order of Business. (5 Oct 2011)

Gerry Adams: I will make two points. The first concerns how debates, questions and answers are provided for. I took the opportunity to examine the work done by the last Government, when former Deputies Bertie Ahern and Brian Cowen held the post of Taoiseach, and it is almost as if places have been switched. Many of the remarks made by the Taoiseach and the leader of the Labour Party when in opposition...
