Gerry Adams: I can understand the Ceann Comhairle is simply interpreting and presiding over arrangements which were agreed earlier today.

Given the scale of the eurozone crisis and its effect on this State, it is shameful the Government has taken months to schedule this debate. However, I cannot say I am surprised....
